The award-winning screenwriter of July Rhapsody and Comrades, Almost a Love Story, Ivy Ho makes her directorial debut with the romantic drama Claustrophobia. Politely restrained, yet emotionally intense, Claustrophobia uses eight scenes and multiple characters to explore the complications and the irony of workplace romance and politics. Popular stars Ekin Cheng (Rule No. 1) and Karena Lam (Kidnap), who received a Hong Kong Film Award Best Actress nomination for her performance, underact to great effect as colleagues caught in a quiet extramarital affair. Also co-starring Andy Hui, Derek Tsang, and Ben Wong, Claustrophobia interestingly tells the story backwards from painful fallout to first encounter. Through carpool conversations and workplace goings, the film weaves an intimate, affecting, and achingly realistic study of how relationships develop and devolve. In a space as small, crowded and claustrophobic as the office, love doesn't grow - it incubates and breeds, like a virus. Pearl (Karena Lam) has quietly fallen in love with her boss Tom (Ekin Cheng), who's married with a family. Without warning, Tom asks Pearl to interview for another job. Wounded, Pearl demands that Tom terminate her. The gauntlet has been thrown down.
