Black Tea

In a poignant and intricate tale of love and self-discovery, Aya, a young Ivorian woman in her early thirties, takes a bold step on her wedding day, rejecting an arranged life to forge her own path. Her journey to Guangzhou, China, where she finds work in a tea export shop, is marked by chance encounters with Cai, a 45-year-old Chinese man who becomes the love of her life, but also one whose past and prejudices threaten their affair. As they navigate the turmoil of their histories and the biases of those around them, Aya and Cai's relationship is tested in a delicate dance of love, culture, and identity.
