From writer‑director Flora Lau comes a haunting dual‑journey through VR and reality that traces two broken families. Wei, in an animated neon‑soaked Chongqing, who aches to reconnect with his estranged daughter Fa, and Ren, in real life Paris, who is becoming unhappy by the growing distance with her terminally ill stepmother, Sabine. Their lives intertwine through an immersive virtual world and an allusive mystical deer who reveals hidden truths, forcing the pair to confront love, loss and what it means to heal. Luz premiered in competition at the 2025 Sundance World Cinema Dramatic Competition and earned praise for its mesmerizing visuals and thematic ambition.
