Amy and Didi live in Queens, New York. They both work and live together with other women in a massage parlour. After work, Didi meets married Cheung for dinner, where they chat and perform love songs in a karaoke bar. A sparkle escapes from the screen. Then tragedy strikes, tearing Didi from life. Life goes on, naked bodies come and go – and at some point, the friend and lover begin to encounter each other. In her debut feature film, filmmaker Constance Tsang tenderly depicts a bittersweet sadness and lostness. Consistently told from the perspective of the Chinese diaspora and with carefully composed images, BLUE SUN PALACE shows deep affection for its characters and their desires and feelings.
