Lilting
Strand ReleasingLilting is a touching, intimate film about finding the things which bring us together. In contemporary London, a Cambodian Chinese mother mourns the untimely death of her son. Her world is further disrupted by the presence of a stranger. We observe their difficulties in trying to connect with one another without a common language, as through a translator they begin to piece together memories of a man they both loved.

- We love Ben Whishaw. He's out and proud, he's completely adorable, he's a good actor and he makes an awesome, young Q in the new James Bond movies.
