Complicity

Chen Liang, a young man, is an illegal immigrant. One day he receives a call about a job offer meant for someone else. In desperation, he pretends to be the person offered the job and ends up working in a traditional Japanese soba restaurant. "With a strong central performance from Yulai Lu (Cheng) and great supporting work from Tatsuya Fuji (Otousan), the film explores the intersection between the identities people need to perform in life and those they might discover within themselves."
