Be With Me - CinemAsia

Faye is an art director and a strong-minded woman who returns to her hometown Chiayi to take care of her ailing father. Struggling with her career and love life, her return home sparks a mental journey of recollection as she thinks back on her grandfather and her past relationships. Reminiscing about the past illuminates the present as Faye tries to find her footing in life.

Director Hwarng Wern-ying is an award-winning art director and the long-time collaborator of Taiwanese auteur Hou Hsiao-hsien. Her first venture into directing, produced by Hou, is a semi-autobiographical portrait of generations of a family as they navigate their lives through turbulent times, but with a kindness that is never lost on the audience. Be With Me is a poignant tale of love and longing, of the memories we carry and the families we share.
