First shown in Graz! Hu Die – Butterfly uses Hongkong cinema's colorful aesthetics to tell a gentle love story: Flavia (Josie Ho), a married teacher, meets the young, apparently careless singer Yip in a supermarket. Flavia, whose life is a boring monotone, starts to take care of the young woman, thereby being reminded of a story from her own past which she has long thought to be forgotten. Connecting a magic love story with the often unusual visual solutions of Hongkong cinema, Hu Die takes its audience into another world – one of the best films of the last five years!
