Nai Nai & Wài Pó is a short film packing a big punch. It's a humorous peek into the lives of two ordinary but extraordinary grandmothers who refuse to allow their zest for life to diminish with age. The talented director, Sean Wang, masterfully captures the essence of his grandmothers' character with inter-spliced images of their playful banter, quiet moments of care, and quick narrative bits. It's the best kind of human interest piece - tender, honest, and inspirational. Though only 17 minutes long, it's packed with a handful of important life lessons, choosing joy being one of them.
It's fun, quirky, and touching, and I can't wait to see what Wang does next.
