On a rainy night, Fen encounters teenaged runaway Yunyun at the gas station she works at. Fen is unsettled by the discovery that she is with child while Yunyun is distressed by her mom's behaviour at home. Their meeting, though brief, offers them both a moment of escape.

Our read · Wandering (2022) reads as a heavy, measured, grounded drama · trauma entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, ambivalent in outlook. Hand-scored on twelve axes of taste — mood, pacing, weirdness, hope, stakes, humour, reality, density, warmth, auteur, intensity, and era — with a derived palette drawn from its dominant cinematography.
