Logline

An 8-year-old boy reluctantly visits his divorced father in Hong Kong, who wants him to become a Hong Kong citizen. They both keep secretive intentions and find it difficult to ask what they want from each other.

Statment

This story has been brewing in us ever since an unexpected summer trip shaped our lives for good. The conversation about the divorce that occurred in the story never did happen in real life. So in a way it’s about asking an unanswerable question. It needs to be asked. It doesn’t have to be answered. It can’t be.
An Invitation is personal but not biographical. And we are privileged to witness a story between a father and a son taking shape in its simplest form: a boy longing for his father, and his father wanting him.
