Little Cheung

7:30 4 April (Walker Art Center)

Little Cheung is a cute nine-year-old boy who makes food deliveries for his father's restaurant in Hong Kong. He encounters all types of wacky characters and gets into a number of interesting situations. The story doesn't end there though; he also develops a close relationship with Fan, a mainlander illegally living in the city. Fruit Chan's direction is amazing in this small and intimate story of the frenetic lifestyle of a boy growing up in the always changing city of Hong Kong. The attention to detail is so real that you can almost feel every part of the megalopolis.
