An entry in the “We Are One” online international film festival, which took place from May 29 to June 7, Sisterhood was shot in 2016 by Macau director Tracy Choi. Sei (Gigi Leung) lives a seemingly uneventful life in Taiwan with her husband, despite an alcohol problem. After hearing of the death of her former best friend Ling, she decides to return home to Macau. The journey brings back old memories of the 1990s, before the former Portuguese colony was transformed by casinos and hotels, when the young Sei (Fish Liew) and Ling (Jennifer Yu) worked together as masseuses and formed a close bond that was eventually torn apart by a misunderstanding. Back in the present day, Sei discovers a secret that was kept by Ling and suppressed in her own memory.
