Citric Acid

Aino and Yu Xing are two best friends and two working fine artists. Competition is as natural as intimacy between the two, but their relationship may be heading toward a breaking point. Citric Acid is a platonic romantic film that explores artists and their practices using a fusion of narrative, documentary and art film with subtle political elements.

Directed by Elenie Chung, Citric Acid leans on a strong ensemble — Aria Song, Wei Ren — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2020.
