A Man and a Woman
New York Asian Film Festival 2025
July 11 - 24, 2025
During the 2021 quarantine in Hong Kong, two strangers in adjacent hotel rooms discover each other through shared balconies and cell phones in Guan Hu’s (The Eight Hundred) tender, melancholic drama.
Quarantine Hong Kong, 2021: Two strangers in adjacent hotel rooms, separated by centimeters yet completely closed off, discover each other through shared balconies and cell phones.

Guan Hu’s (The Eight Hundred) tender, melancholic drama transforms confinement into revelation.
