Be With Me is a testimony to, and meditation on, love, hope and destiny. The film's universality comes from not just from the inspiring character of Theresa Chan but from its haunting beauty. We love this film because it confirms that the best minimalist films can capture immense perspectives, which are those of the heart and soul. - Oliver Pere: Artistic Director, Cannes Directors’ Fortnight.

Be With Me, the latest from acclaimed director Eric Khoo (Mee Pok Man, 12 Storeys), is a tapestry of three stories woven around the themes of love, hope and destiny. Though the main characters come from different backgrounds and lead different lives, they all long to be with their loved one. Unknown to them, these different souls will share the same stage in a play written by Fate - one which involves the themes of love, tragedy and redemption.

The main characters in this fascinating film are fictional and are played by professional actors - with the notable exception of Theresa Chan, a remarkably talented deaf and blind woman whose memories, biography and everyday life inspired Khoo’s movie. Deaf and blind since she was 14, Theresa is a remarkable woman who has triumphed over her disabilities to live an amazing life. She is the film's beacon - a symbol of strength and hope.
