ALL SHALL BE WELL

In this tender excavation of love's afterlife, Ray Yeung illuminates the quiet devastations of everyday life, offering a portrait of grief rippling through the cracks of societal norms – a poignant tribute to those who love against the odds. This Teddy Award-winning film masterfully explores the lives of Pat and Angie (Patra Au), two sixty-something women who have weathered life and love''s storms together for decades. When Pat''s sudden death shatters their world, mild-mannered Angie finds herself adrift, her home and chosen family threatened by Hong Kong''s labyrinthine inheritance laws. Seeking solace in a group of LGBTQ+ elders, Angie confronts the unraveling of cherished relationships and the painful challenges faced by those who dare to love differently. Yeung navigates this minefield with a deft, unsentimental touch, eliciting beautifully understated performances from his cast. Patra Au Ga Man''s grace anchors the film, a bulwark against the indignities of age and prejudice, while veteran Tai Bo brings wry humor to his supporting role. Eschewing facile melodrama in favor of nuanced authenticity, Yeung crafts a lyrical ode to love''s resilience, a bittersweet reminder that the bonds we forge can transcend death, if not the law. Lead Actress Patra Au will be in attendance for a special post-screening Q&A.
