A Hot Summer Night

撮要

Summer (Chuti Tiu) is an exotic dancer and recovering alcoholic who finds herself in a race against time. With her mother’s life hanging in the balance, she turns to a night of nonstop virtual performances, desperate to raise enough money for an experimental cancer treatment before the clock runs out. But staying focused isn’t easy. As the night wears on, Summer is pulled into a web of emotional landmines — the lingering damage of a toxic relationship, the ever-present pull of relapse, and the crushing pressure of doing it all alone. Through her computer screen, she encounters a vivid cross-section of society — clients from all walks of life, each with their own desires, secrets, and struggles. Across class and racial lines, these fleeting interactions offer unexpected moments of connection, empathy, and reflection, forcing Summer to confront not just what she’s running from, but what she’s fighting for.
