Director Vivian Qu’s latest, Girls On Wire, has already set sail with its release in China as of March, and will now open before audiences in Hong Kong on May 8. The film stars Liu Haocun, and also reteams Qu with her Angels Wear White lead, Taiwanese actress Wen Qi.
Cousins Tian Tian and Fang Di were raised like sisters until family struggles pushed them apart. Fang Di moves away to work as a stuntwoman in China’s largest film studios to clear her family’s debts. Tian Tian remains behind, forced to deal with her father’s addiction, and falls prey to the local mafia. Forced to escape to the big city, Tian Tian seeks out her cousin. Thrown together against their will and followed by the mob, they will need to combine their strength and resilience to escape a dramatic fate that threatens to consume them both.
Girls On Wire held its world premiere at the 75th Berlinale and just last month at the 49th Hong Kong International Film Festival. Films Boutique handles world sales on the pic.
