The Distance We Drift is a romantic drama that follows YING, a Hong Kong immigrant who has recently moved to the UK with her husband and son. Far from the life she once imagined, Ying feels increasingly lost in her new surroundings. When she unexpectedly reunites with her ex-boyfriend HONG—now an exiled photographer working in a supermarket—long-buried emotions resurface.
Together they embark on a quiet journey through time and memory, reflecting on love, identity, and the unspoken sorrow of the Asian immigrant experience. The Distance We Drift is a quiet, poetic exploration of longing, resilience, and the emotional cost of displacement.
