28
Berlin, known for its freedom and inclusiveness of diverse subcultures, is a safe haven for many displaced people. But urban life may not provide the best living conditions. Idealistic traveller Moon struggles to find accommodation in Berlin but receives a helping hand from Anna, who is also a Hong Konger anxious about her unstable life. They temporarily stay at the 15-person co-living facility named Hausprojekt ‘K28’. However, this group of migrants—some have experienced social unrest back home and others just want to experience life in a foreign country—are facing eviction. Two women with very different personalities share what they have and face the hardships of life together. The Berlin-based director uses her perspective as an Asian woman to explore the clash between humanism and gentrification. Featuring Golden Horse nominee Elizabeth TANG and artist Sammi MAK in leading roles, the film deromanticises the situation of Hong Kongers living in a foreign land.
