One Another

相濡關係

Overview

Living together is hard, let alone developing affections for each other—this adage applies not just a couple but any two persons. Living modestly and alone with assistance from the domestic helper, the wheelchair-bound mother is only looking forward to her son’s visit. She may dotingly reminisce on her son’s childhood, but also formed a new and unspoken bond with her attentive domestic helper. On an eventful day in which the mother prepares a huge dinner for her absent son, the domestic helper is having worries of her own with her gambling husband. Genuine and understated in their emotions, the two protagonists reveal people’s capacity to foster new affections through togetherness.
