All Shall Be Well - English subtitled
Moving drama about a woman who discovers after losing her partner that the bond with her in-laws is not as warm as she thought. Winner of the Teddy Award for best lgbtqia+ film at the Berlin Film Festival.
Angie and Pat are a well-off lesbian couple in their mid-60s. They have lived together for thirty years in the flat Pat owns in Hong Kong. Their relationship is accepted by their friends and families and they are valued and loved by those around them. After Pat unexpectedly dies, Angie is not only emotionally supported by her circle of friends, but also – at least at first – by Pat’s family. However, little by little, arguments about the burial and inheritance lead to an estrangement. Angie has no legal right to remain in the flat she shared with Pat and is at the mercy of the dwindling goodwill of her dead partner’s family. Even though the couple shared the financial burden equally between them, Pat was the one who took care of everything in their relationship. Supported by her chosen family, Angie embarks on a later-life emancipation journey.
Director Ray Yeung takes a precise look at the often precarious everyday life of the older queer community. In the character of Angie, he creates a quiet and yet impressively resilient lesbian heroine. (source: www.berlinale.de)
