Zinnia Flower (Taiwan)  

Two Taipei widows mourn the loss of their respective partners after a devastating car crash. Abrasive Yuwei (Stone, of Taiwanese alt-rock band Mayday) turns into a flaming asshole by taking things out on everyone around him, while the introverted Ming (Vancouver’s Karena Lam) embarks upon the trip to Okinawa that she had planned to take with her fiancé.

Gorgeously shot, this gentle meditation on grieving, based on the structure of the Buddhist 100-day lamentation period and its various stages, is tender and wistful but never gloomy. For the most part, the story avoids elegiac clichés, or turns them on their head with surprises, as the two survivors learn to continue with their lives.
