Zijun Ding
Desperate for work, Hu Sisi takes on a temporary job at the front desk of the Liqi Hotel. The hotel is a hiding place for many hidden stories and skeletons. As soon as she steps into the hotel, it’s front bell signals the start of a game of death. The players are the missing former front desk clerk, the greedy manager, the selfish doorman, the insane housekeeper and mysterious figure in red who’s appearance is like the turning of the cards in Hu Sisi’s hand. They guide her in the direction of hell until she meets another player- the tenant Xu Fei, and irrationally falls in love. Loss and love, love and loss, the hidden and the hated, the hell-bound and the hated- they are the universal states but are they the truth? ‘Ex Kills Me’ has the answer.
