Lyric Lan to Star in Rising Chinese Director Lam Can-zhao’s ‘The Numbered Women’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Acclaimed Chinese actor Lyric Lan is set to collaborate with rising filmmaker Lam Can-zhao on his latest project 'The Numbered Women.'
The socially-driven drama, which begins production this August, follows two marginalized women – a Chinese van driver and a Vietnamese massage worker – whose lives briefly intersect in a remote town in Southern China. At just 20, Lam made his directorial debut with “The Dog” and has since built a reputation for centering rural lives and forgotten voices in his work, often exploring the emotional aftermath of China’s mass rural-urban migration wave. The film brings together four distinct yet interconnected stories set in the same village, each exploring the bittersweet journey of growing up and capturing the resilience of children left behind due to rural-to-urban migration, divorce, or emotional distance.
