About this Event
Is family synonymous to home? Is home where your roots are, or where you choose to settle? And your people; are they tied by blood or by chosen love? Reimagining the family and the home, reflection can be gently inspired through the simplest means.
Suitable for children and a relaxed screening for the whole family.
(This screening is part of Hong Kong Film Festival UK – Manchester Tour Part II.)
