Someone Like Me(HKAFF2025)

Mui, a vibrant young lady with cerebral palsy, has always navigated life optimistically despite its challenges. However, her carefully constructed world is threatened when her overprotective mother insists on a hysterectomy, causing Mui to fear the loss of her identity as a woman. Seeking solace and autonomy, she discovers a unique volunteer group providing sexual services for disabled individuals. There, she meets Ken, an enigmatic volunteer grappling with his own hidden wounds. Their connection deepens, blossoming into an affectionate yet elusive bond that challenges societal norms and physical limitations. Like Tam’s In Your Dreams (14th HKAFF Opening Film), Someone Like Me is a provocative exploration of desire, identity, and the courage to claim one's own narrative.
