MANDARINE

On a sunlit coastline, a drifting musician and a determined journalist cross paths, their intersecting quests exposing secrets hidden beneath a community’s sunlit surface. He seeks a past he barely remembers, while she pursues a story that could redefine her career. As a fragile truce between memory and truth unfolds, old loyalties are tested, and small moments of grace illuminate the tension between belonging and desire. With intimate character portraits and a lyrical pulse, the film weaves music, weathered streets, and quiet courage into a luminous meditation on identity, loss, and the power of chosen connections. A gracefully intimate, hopeful journey.
