No Hard Feelings

Directed by Liu Shichuan

Down-on-his-luck ride-hailing driver Li Song eases his frustrations via an obscure podcast, held back from new romance by an embarrassing chronic ailment. Yin, pretending to be a Korean customer service agent at a health-supplement firm, drudges through client calls to save for an apartment. A follow-up phone call draws these two lonely urban strangers together behind lies. As reality and delusion crumble, they are forced to confront life and their true selves.
