The Breaking Ice

In cold wintry Yanji, a city on China's northern border, young urbanite Haofeng, visiting from Shanghai, feels lost and adrift. By chance, he goes on a tour led by Nana, a charming tour guide who instantly fascinates him. She introduces him to Xiao, a personable but frustrated restaurant worker. The three bond quickly over a drunken weekend. Confronting their individual traumas, their frozen desires slowly thaw as they seek to liberate themselves from an icy world.

Singaporean film-maker Anthony Chen brings warmth, sympathy and directness to this intimate drama, a subtle tribute to the French nouvelle vague – especially François Truffaut's Jules et Jim and Jean-Luc Godard's Bande à part.

Filmography: Drift (2023), Wet Season, (2019), Ilo Ilo (2013).
