The Mending (2019)
Sherman is a journalist working on a feature story about Kintsugi, the ancient Japanese art of repairing ceramics with powdered precious metals, a manifestation of the Japanese philosophy of embracing the flawed or imperfect. As she learns of a Japanese Kintsugi master's arrival in Hong Kong, she arranges an interview with him and brings along some broken ceramic pieces to the Kintsugi lessons. Sherman unexpectedly runs into her ex-boyfriend, Chun, whom she has not seen for a long time. Because of Sherman's feature, the two are re-acquaint with each other. Sherman is troubled about Chun’s entering her life again. The shattered pieces and the broken relationship - can all that be repaired?
