I Don't Want to Sleep Alone
Directed by Tsai Ming-liang
Produced by Soudaine Compagnie, Homegreen Films
A tender, melancholic portrait of unrequited love and care between two marginalized men, set against urban poverty and emotional vulnerability.
Rawang, an immigrant from Bangladesh living in awful conditions, takes pity on a Chinese man, Hsiao-kang, who is beaten up and left in the street. Rawang lovingly nurses him on a mattress he found. When he is almost healed, Hsiao-kang meets the waitress Chyi. His love for Rawang is put to the test.
