Listen To The Force follows Ting and Yun, a young couple living together in their urban apartment. Through a series of everyday moments: preparing juice, cleaning dishes, sharing silence, their story gradually unfolds with the Push Hands practice, where each gesture becomes loaded with meaning. As they circle each other in their small, cozy space, the boundaries between martial arts and daily life dissolve. A simple hand push becomes a test of balance. Without dialogue, their bodies tell the story of contemporary intimacy: the constant recalibration between personal space and shared life, the delicate art of being together while remaining individuals.
