Project Detail

Dim Sum (a little bit of heart)

Synopsis

Liverpool, England. A Chinese Grocery. Three women sit making dumplings. Conversation turns to traditions, relationships and men and we discover that although distinctly Chinese, their subjects are universal concerns. A gentle informal picture of the women's everyday struggles framed by the distinctive Liverpool skyline and infused with a warm humour.
