SOUNDLESS WIND CHIME (WUSHENG FENG LING)

Dir: Kit Hung, China, 2009, 35mm, 110min
Swiss German, English, Mandarin and Cantonese with English subtitles
Genre: Drama, Foreign Language
Identity: Gay

The busy streets and cramped alleyways of Hong Kong provide the stage for an intense affair between two lonely, isolated men. Ricky, a waiter and delivery boy from Beijing, lives with his aunt, a prostitute who passes the time between clients by spewing criticism at her timid nephew. Swiss-born Pascal picks pockets and juggles for cash. After running away from his sexually abusive roommate, Pascal wanders aimlessly before finding a friendly face – and eventually a warm bed – with Ricky. Before long the two young lovers get an apartment together, where they share passionate nights and delightfully mundane mornings – until a tragedy leaves Ricky more isolated than ever.

Haunted by his all-too brief flirtation with happiness, Ricky heads to Switzerland in search of a tangible connection to his dearly departed. There he meets Ueli, an antiques shopkeeper who bears an uncanny resemblance to Pascal. In the empty fields of a Swiss village, Ricky and Ueli try to forge a relationship. But Ricky can’t escape the ghosts of the past: his ailing mother needs him in Beijing and the memory of Pascal lingers.

"Director Kit Hung’s beautifully photographed, non-linear debut feature captures the intensity of young love in a bustling city, but finds its true magic in love’s wake: when memory is as palpable as a steady breeze." - Frameline Film Festival 2009

Official Selection, Berlin International Film Festival 2009
