The Cantonese and English-language Withered Blossoms is about a young woman who, after attempting to conceal her separation from a long-term partner, finally visits her grandma who is grappling with age.
“Just like when the Sakura petals wither and fall off the tree, I hope that Withered Blossoms will be a film that portrays that fleeting beauty.” – Lionel describes film as a meditation and reflection on the conversations he wishes he could have had with his grandmother.
