The latest work from acclaimed Hong Kong writer director Flora Lau, LUZ is a bold new vision which explores how human connections, relationships and our very sense of reality are being reshaped around the world and across different generations by technology. Shot in Hong Kong, Chongqing and Paris and featuring a top drawer international cast, the film’s stunning visuals and layers of meaning make it an immersive and transformative journey through existence.
In the neon-lit streets of Chongqing, ex-con Wei (Guo Xiao Dong) desperately searches for his estranged daughter Fa (Deng En Xi), while Hong Kong gallerist Ren (Sandrine Pinna) grapples with her ailing stepmother Sabine (Isabelle Huppert) in Paris. Their disparate lives collide in a VR world called LUZ, where a mystical deer unexpectedly reveals hidden truths, sparking a journey of discovery and connection.
