Water Flower

A portrait of the relationship between Minako, a high school girl deserted by her mother when she was young, and Yu, Minako’s younger half-sister who loves to dance ballet. On a whim, Minako takes Yu to the house of their late grandparents near the sea. As she spends time taking care and playing with her little sister, Minako takes on the role of a mother. While reminiscing on her happy childhood, Minako has reached the age when she feels more and more distant from her father, but holds a deeper resentment for her mother who eloped with another man, deserting her husband and child. —Hong Kong Asian Film Festival
