The Good Person of Szechwan (2025)
Three gods descend from the heavens in search of something truly rare: one good person. In the city of Szechwan, they find Shen Teh, a poor prostitute with a heart of gold, who agrees to take them into her humble home. As a token of gratitude, they gift her a sum of money that enables her to start a new life. But when goodness meets harsh reality, it becomes clear that a generous heart may come at a high cost. To survive, Shen Teh invents an alter ego: a tough cousin named Shui Ta, who can do all those things she herself wouldn't dare do. As she falls in love with a melancholic pilot, the internal rift between her two selves further deepens. Can one remain good in this world? And if so—at what price?
