I Heard That They Are Not Going To See Each Other Anymore
Ka Ki Wong / Taiwan, Hong Kong, Türkiye & United Kingdom / 2026 / World Premiere / 86 min
Young love and intertwined lives in Taipei in a romantic and charming debut film with a colossal creative energy that dissolves the boundary between fiction and reality - just like when you are in love.
Several destinies are intertwined in a dreamlike and labyrinthine Taipei. Young Tao is unhappily in love with Shin. Melih has migrated from Istanbul and runs a noodle restaurant on the street, where the perpetually drunk Ping is a regular. A mysterious and possibly enchanted flower, passed from hand to hand, ties the stories together – and might be the magic key to breaking the isolation between them.
There is a documentary somewhere inside Kaki Wong’s debut, but it is wrapped in a wonderfully vivid and poetic cinematic language that not only dissolves the clear boundaries between fiction and reality, but also between memories, longing and attachment.
With Taipei as its urban setting, Kaki Wong has created a compelling film about modern relationships and identity in a metropolis where loneliness and melancholy are rarely far away. Nevertheless, there is an energy and narrative drive in Wong’s debut film that brings to mind the best Asian New Wave films of the 1990s, but with its own deeply charming signature.
