SHUN LI AND THE POET (IO SONO LI)

at AFI Silver

An indentured servant indebted to the snakehead who brought her from China to Italy, Shun Li is sent from her factory job outside of Rome to work in a pub in a small town along the Venetian Lagoon. There she strikes up an unlikely friendship with a Slavic refugee and fisherman named Bepi. United by a shared love of poetry, Shun Li and Bepi’s growing friendship attracts the disapproving eye of some within their immigrant community.
