巴黎20區的一家公立醫院裡，亚洲区攝影機和持攝影機的人駐留在不同的診間，亚洲区記錄著來自不同文化背景、處於生命各個階段的女性，拍攝他們與醫療體系的無數次相遇——癌症篩檢、生育問診、意外懷孕尋求墮胎、子宮內膜異位症等，因著「異常」來到醫院的各種身體。導演克萊兒・西蒙經歷癌症的生命經驗促使他展開紀錄，鏡頭溫柔地打破那潛藏在現代醫療體系中高冷的專業術語與疏離的人際關係，以帶有人本主義式的關懷，細膩地呈現人們對於身體、生命的思索，關於進行跨性別手術的未成年人如何思考更年期、個體如何與日漸老去的身體共存，以及醫療人員如何身在機構的同時亦能進行機構批判。電影從親密的視角展現生命的多樣性，以及差異如何構成集體的經驗，共同譜成我們的身體。

回复 :Star, a suicidal teen now too old for foster care, develops a candid rapport with An, a student from Shanghai who is assigned to watch her while she is in hospital. A nightly exchange of secrets, text messages and possessions quickly expands the boundaries of their relationship, altering their inner chemistry.Gilded by a soundscape that interweaves work by emerging and pioneering electronic musicians, Queens of the Qing Dynasty is an offbeat ode to neurodiversity and genderqueer individuals who refuse to conform. Director Ashley McKenzie’s blend of formalism and gritty realism does not fail to surprise and treats the audience to flashes of visual and conceptual poetry. Her cast is entirely composed of first-time actors who convincingly convey how unique every individual is, both in how they see the world and how they relate to others. Ziyin Zheng in the role of An graciously embodies a mix of idiosyncrasy and frankness that makes them an ideal confidante for Star (Sarah Walker). They have what it takes to be on the receiving end of the scrutinising gaze of Star, who sees through conventions and never ceases to be amazed at life’s bewildering events. Veering on slapstick, Walker’s performance will not go unnoticed.
