Short film (2022)
25′
"Now that I roam, I make my own rules. That way I can go wherever I want, whenever I want."
In her quest for adventure and freedom, Maye, a young runaway with nothing to lose, finds herself in a whirlwind of hard partying, fleeting loves and irreversible choices.
Don't sleep too long (and certainly not on the street), don't beg, shower daily, and, above all: never give up. With a set of self-imposed rules, homeless Maye hopes to continue her free, adventurous life. Without the burden of a home, of friends and the yoke of her traditional Chinese parents, she frolics through Rotterdam, seizing the day as well as the night. But when she loses her few possessions, her utopian house of cards collapses and reality proves even harsher than expected.
A Little Less Ordinary is selected for the Golden Calves competition of the Dutch Film Festival 2022
