CIAO

It's a bit late for me to post this...i guess,
but i still feel there's a need to promote (without request) this film,
a touching gay-theme drama directed by fellow Malaysian Yen Tan.

Mr. Tan, if you happen to read this,
i'd like you to know how grateful i am for your kind email.
I will definitely be buying the DVD, or if it were to be screen, i'll definitely hit the theater.

Here's the summary obtained from the official facebook of Yen Tan.

CIAO beautifully explores the difficult path to accepting loss amidst the hope of new beginnings. This somber and touching modern love story focuses on the incidental friendship between two strangers living in two different parts of the world. Their connection is sparked by the unexpected loss of a mutual friend, Mark. When Jeff (Adam Neal Smith) is left in charge of handling Mark’s possessions and tying up loose ends he stumbles upon one of Mark’s email conversations with Mark’s online Italian romance, Andrea (Alessandro Calza, who also co-wrote the screenplay) and must tell him the bad news. With a trip already booked, Andrea decides to come and learn more about his recently departed friend. What begins as a tragedy that links two strangers from different ends of the world becomes a deeply realized friendship that may change their lives forever.
