Released in 2025, Speak to the Tide is a drama film directed by Chu Ka Shing, running about 30 minutes.
What it’s about. If a goddess has come down to earth, could she bring back lost time for man? Ning takes a substitute teaching position at a rural school, hoping to find inspiration for her novel from nature. One day after class, students Richard and LAM Mak-noeng, a mysteriously masked girl who shares the same name as the Empress of Heaven, come to her for help. It turns out that Mak-noeng is about to disappear. Faced with such an ethereal problem, Ning takes on the responsibility of a storyteller and seeks a happy ending for this heavenly romance. The director, who has always been interested in urban issues, has continued to mix historical and fantastical elements like he has done with Interview with Lo-Ting: An Oral History Project (2022). A modern love story with celestial inspiration, the film gently caresses the remnants of our city and the melancholy of lonely souls.
Who’s in it. Speak to the Tide stars Ning Chan as Ning, John Ho as Richard, Ocean On as Lam Mak-Noeng and Ko Hon-Man as Professor Lo.
