Lilting (2014)

Set in contemporary London, the emotional drama Lilting (2014) introduces us to Junn (Pei-pei Cheng), a Cambodian Chinese mother mourning the loss of her son Kai (Andrew Leung), while trying and failing to communicate with those around her. Kai’s equally-grieving boyfriend Richard (Ben Whishaw), wants to help Junn, so he hires Vann (Naomi Christie), a translator, to help facilitate communication with one another. As Richard begins to chat with Junn, he soon discovers that mom was unaware that her son was gay. Through verbal and non-verbal communication, Richard and Junn grieve together while celebrating Kai’s life. You’ll definitely going to need some tissues when you watch this flick, but not to swab up your sticky DNA. There’s no real nudity, just Ben Whishaw and Andrew Leung lying in bed, looking cute minus their shirts. How sweet!
