    • Synopsis
    • A fleeting and tender story about what unites us, Folding traces the unlikely friendship between a vulnerable Taiwanese woman, Li (Shin-Fei Chen) and an elderly black widower, Errol (Joseph Marcell). Alone and on the run, Li unexpectedly finds herself face to face with Errol, still struggling to deal with the loss of his wife. Although shaken by their initial confrontation, they begin to trust one another, and despite not understanding one another's spoken language, they connect through food, art and music. Folding is an inclusive story about the universal power of compassion and trust even in the most desperate situations.
