Director‘s Statement
As a documentary student, I encountered a table gossip in an illegal Chinese restaurant in Lisbon. It's about a Chinese girl who came to study here but fell into deep miseries. Out of curiosity and sense of responsibility, I began to look for her.The search led me get closer to the local Chinese community which also revealed the complexity of diaspora life. My empathy and help for the character often situated me in a difficult ethical position in documentary filmmaking.
