GIRLFRIENDS

A fresh, intimate queer romance spanning Macao, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, tracing how love, loss, and timing shape who we become.

Lok, a 34-year-old filmmaker from Macau, has been drifting through Hong Kong’s film industry. Although she has already directed a feature film, her life remains unstable, her next project has stalled, and her live-in girlfriend, Bei Bei, is pushing for marriage, buying a house, and settling down. Under the weight of reality and creative burnout, Lok finds herself once again torn between choosing an “Ordinary” life or an “Extraordinary” one. This inner struggle leads her to revisit the different versions of herself over the years—From the confusion of 17, the obsession of 22, to the exhaustion at 34, Lok finally understands, being extraordinary isn’t about rebellion or pleasing others, it’s about being true to herself.
