May-June is getting married, and she needs a Woman of Good Fortune to bless the ceremonies. Unfortunately, her mother is far from lucky. Twelve years ago, after being tormented by the noises in her head and a mysterious girl in red, she disappeared into her bedroom and never emerged again.
At Broken Bridge explores the relentless attachment between a mother and a child, the irresistible call of the past, and the internal landscape of migration and exile. As both Mother and Daughter struggle to reintegrate their fractured selves, they meet at each end of a broken bridge and question:
How can we love those who are worlds apart from us?
