Although Ricky makes it easier for Pascal to immerse himself into local culture, the pair are tortured by the dilemma of whether their relationship is built on true love or only dependency on each other and the fear of being lonely.
When Pascal tragically passes away in an accident, Ricky carries his grief and sorrows to Switzerland, looking for hints of Pascal in a nameless village. When he visits a beautiful thrift store, Ricky meets Ueli, a man that looks identical to Pascal, but has a totally different personality.
“Soundless Wind Chime is a film about letting go,” said director Kit Hung. “It contextually presents the differences of Eastern and Western culture on the philosophy of life, death and the afterlife. It also presents the integration of Eastern and Western mentality. It seeks to blur the boundary between ethics, race and sexuality.”
