Body and Memory

She touches bodies for a living. He longs to be touched by something real.

Wang Xiaomei, who left her rural home, now works at Honglan, a massage parlor for wealthy men in Suzhou.
Ryo Hasegawa, a Japanese expat, struggles with the Chinese language-and life itself.

Instead of textbooks, he looks for connection in a place where words aren't required.
And maybe, in the stillness, he finds it.

But back at his office, Meiling waits. Watches. Hopes.

A slow, quiet drama of three people, three paths, and the space between what we say and what we feel.
