Finch & Midland

2026 · 110 min

A quietly affecting ensemble piece that finds warmth and quiet resilience in the daily grind of immigrant life.

Overview: A story of big losses, small triumphs, and moments of grace amid the grind of capitalism — in other words, life itself. Four Hong Kong immigrants are living lives of desperation in Scarborough, Ontario: Dan was a pop singer on the rise before his move to Canada, now he’s barely scraping by; Eva is a lonely woman whose commitment to her aging mother has held her back in life; Fan is a part-time sex worker struggling to break into real estate; Tony is an aging widower whose factory job is at risk.
How it feels: Melancholic, warm, earnest and satirical. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Immigration, isolation, family, work
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
