Courtesy of KVIFF Aung Phyoe’s “Fruit Gathering” won the Crystal Globe at Karlovy Vary Film Festival on Saturday.
Set in contemporary Myanmar, it follows the friendship and connection that forms between two young women working at a textile factory.
The film “begins as a lush and meditative portrait of work and friendship before morphing, unexpectedly and organically, into a harrowing drama of obsession and queer desire,” the jury said.
