Sweep Away Hungry Ghosts

Sweep Away Hungry Ghosts is the wishful reverie of a young Asian man as he struggles to come to terms with his deceased father’s transvestitism.
Imbued with themes of traditional Chinese filial piety, the film explores the shifting role of the parent and the uncomfortable space between sex and gender.
