Short Film : "Gadis Yang Tidak Layak"

You must be Chloe. Yes, I am. Come in, please. Chloe, would you like something to drink? Coffee? Tea? Water? Tea is fine. Okay. This place is beautiful. That spiral staircase is absolutely stunning. A piano! Sean! Hi, how are you doing? Hmm, what's your name again? Sean. Oh, Sean! Auntie Chan tells me that everyone around here lives in mansions, villas with massive lawns. This area is seriously posh. Well, this house isn't actually ours. My mum here works as a maid. And the homeowner is out of town and asked us to look after the place, so I invited you here. So, you don't own this place? No, no. I live in the countryside in a rural area. We came here for work. Then that beautiful car outside isn't yours either. No, the bicycle outside is mine. Bicycle! You're having a laugh. It's not a joke. It's the truth. My son, Sean, is a very kind boy. Listen, Sean! You're not exactly top tier in the dating game. I'm a catch. You're an embarrassment! Who's going to marry you? Wait, do you want your tea to go? No! Who wants to drink your pleasant tea? See, this happens every time. None of these blind dates work out. Can we just stop this nonsense? Sean, for your future happiness, we have to think long term. Plus, what if the perfect girl is the next one? Alright then, mum. Let me bring you some cake. Thanks. Here you go. Are you the house? Yeah, I am. Do you need anything else? Just let me know. It's okay. Sean! Hi, how are you doing? Not bad. Nice. Sit down. Here. No, I'm alright. Nice to meet you. Happy, so happy with your situation. When we get married, I want a lot of babies. And we can travel around the world. To Las Vegas, Germany, Africa... Wait, wait. I came here on a bicycle. I don't have the money to travel. Huh? Are you joking? No, this house isn't even mine. My mum works here as a maid. A maid? Yes, you know, the person that brought you just this. So, I need to help your mum? Yes, it's our culture. Oh my gosh! You liar! Are you here for a date or a fight? Learn some manners. Huh, what a clown! Mum. I'm exhausted. Can we please stop doing this? I'm sorry, dear. In this society, no one wants to date a brokey. Money rules. You're already busy enough as a director in my company. You don't need to worry about me so much. Thank you, honey. I really want to find someone who cares about you more than anyone else. How about, let's keep trying? Okay? The next fiscal quarter is our busy season. The goals that I've set for everyone are a lot higher and a lot tougher. But, I believe everyone can do it. I really believe in you guys. Is that okay with everyone? Yeah. Okay, sounds good. You got elected early. I'll be responsible for your lifelong happiness. Mum, I know it's been very hard raising me alone. So that's why I've worked so hard to try to give you a good life. To make you happy tomorrow, I promise I'll meet another one. You've matured a lot. I believe in you. You must be Lily. Yes, very nice to see you. Likewise. Do you want me here? No, the address is too easy to spot. Come, come. Thank you. Shaw! Shaw! Have a seat here. Shaw! Hi, how are you doing? Good, how are you? I'm Lily. Auntie Wan introduced me. Nice to meet you. Have a seat. Lily, let me be straightforward. I don't have a house nor a car. This house actually belongs to my mum's employer. She's over there working as a maid. She's the one who let you in. Auntie. Hi, Lily. Can I get you something? Why don't you take a rest? This job must be very demanding. Lily, if you're here to judge how poor we are, we should just call it and save us some time. I'll walk you out. That's not what I mean. We're still young, so we can work hard to provide our parents a better retirement life. So, before I go, here's a little something for you. Thank you. So nice of you. Auntie Wan said you've been feeling tired lately, so I thought this would make a perfect gift. That's so thoughtful of you. Anytime, that's the least I can do. Hope I can help you. Thanks a lot. Lily, when I told you earlier on our blind date that I have no money, I was so surprised and thankful that you actually didn't mind. Those things are not important to me. I think kindness is more important than wealth. I guess in today's society, only Falun Gong practitioners are able to do that. In our belief, we aspire for a higher moral compass, truthfulness, compassion and forbearance. And these are the universal values the Falun Gong community has been spreading worldwide for 32 years.
