Two girls and a guy on a road trip through the countryside. Two are lovers and one is a nuisance. As they say, two’s company and three’s a crowd, and that’s how trouble starts.
Ho Wi Ding, the Malaysian filmmaker based in Taiwan, first came to our attention by winning in Cannes 2006 with his short film, Respire, an affecting tone poem about the last days in the life of a young girl in a virus-infected, post-apocalyptic world. This year, he went to Cannes again with Summer Afternoon, the only Asian short film in the line-up.
And what a film it is.
More info after the break.
