The Calm Beyond

The Calm Beyond (2020) is a Hong Kong science-fiction thriller — watch online on iFILM — directed by Joshua Wong. A tsunami erased the city. One young woman (Kara Wai) survived and hid herself in the upper floors of a wrecked building, above the flood line. She has a routine. She stays invisible.

Then a small girl (Sarinna Boggs) floats to her. The calculus of survival shifts. Wong tells most of the story through long silences and held shots of submerged streets — a disaster film with almost no dialogue and a quiet insistence that two people in an empty city is enough of a premise.
