Ah Ma

Since Ah Ma is dying in a hospital room, her family gathers at the bedside of the dying woman, to accompany her on her final journey. We already get the feeling that everybody, among her children and the grandchildren she looked after, has gone on to other things. In the last minutes of her life, they all pause for an instant and think about the moments spent with her, before being once more taken up with their daily life.

Several generations of the family who have very complicated relationships manage their feelings differently and it is unnecessary to speak a lot to show it. The simplicity of the film proves that the best stories we have to tell are those which are already inside us.
