Locust
Synopsis
A momentary encounter evokes both a sense of fondness and bitterness of the heart. Moving and lyrical, the film’s Hong Kong backdrop heightens the emotive narration. “Sometimes, I feel like a locust that’s lost from the crowd…” An evocative visual poem that won 2nd prize at Busan Asian Short Film Festival 2004.
