- Synopsis
- Folding instantly takes the audience inside the frantic world of Li (Shin-Fei Chen, Chinese Burn), a vulnerable, injured Taiwanese woman on the run. Desperate to escape the men pursuing her, she seeks uninvited shelter inside the home of eldery St Lucian widower, Errol (Joseph Marcel, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air). Despite not speaking one another's language, the two form an intimate bond of friendship over the course of one day. What unfolds is a universal tale of compassion and trust that reveals two resilient people helping one another through trauma and grief.
  
  Folding is an inclusive story, on and off screen, made with a majority cast and crew who are underrepresented across race, class and gender. It showcases east and southeast Asian talent in the UK, who continue to be grossly excluded from the film industry.
