“Wonderland” to Debut at San Diego Asian Film Festival

As Loke transitions to his new living situation, he finds himself surrounded by senior neighbours eager to forge friendships. Tan, played by Peter Yu, is one of them and is known as the “leader” of “The Senior Citizens’ Corner,” a social gathering in their neighbourhood. A bond quickly forms between Loke and Tan, especially when Loke, being illiterate, depends on Tan to read and write letters to Eileen. As they exchange letters, Tan, dealing with his estranged relationship with his own daughter, finds comfort and purpose in assisting Loke.

However, their bond is tested when Tan is met with a tragic revelation concerning Eileen. Torn between telling the truth and protecting his friend from heartbreak, Tan crafts a lie, setting off a series of unforeseen events.

The Asia Pop! section of the San Diego Asian Film Festival is home to this moving story, which Mocha Chai Laboratories and mm2 Entertainment co-produced. Attendees can expect a lineup of other remarkable films, including South Korea’s “Cobweb,” starring the acclaimed Song Kang-ho of “Parasite” fame, and Malaysia’s “Abang Adik.”
