SYNOPSIS:
Winner of the coveted Teddy Award at the Berlin Film Festival and the Audience Award for Best Film at Frameline, ALL SHALL BE WELL is a masterful film that offers a rare and poignant look at an older lesbian couple in Hong Kong. This critically-acclaimed film follows Angie and Pat, who have been together for over four decades. After an unexpected turn of events, Angie finds herself at the mercy of Pat's family, struggling to retain her dignity and the home they shared for over thirty years. Inspired by real-life stories of older LGBTQ+ individuals, the film underscores the urgent need for legal reforms. Set against the backdrop of Hong Kong’s socially conservative culture, ALL SHALL BE WELL is a heartfelt and powerful call to action, filled to the brim with emotional depth and critical social commentary.
