POLFF25: MINGHUN
Book Tickets
Synopsis
AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
Blending quiet humour, emotional depth, and cultural insight, MINGHUN is a moving cross-cultural journey through love, loss, and the bonds that transcend borders — and death. Starring one of Poland’s most popular actors, Marcin Dorociński, known internationally from Netflix’s Queens Gambit, Vikings: Valhalla and Tom Cruise blockbuster Mission Impossible - Dead Reckoning, it’s a powerful reminder that family ties can bridge even the greatest of distances.
Following the sudden death of his daughter, Polish father Jurek joins his Chinese father-in-law Ben in performing the ancient ritual of minghun - a posthumous wedding meant to ensure his daughter won’t be alone in the afterlife. Initially resistant to the idea, Jurek is slowly drawn into an unexpected journey across cultures and generations as the two men search for a suitable “ghost groom.” What begins as a bizarre and painful task evolves into a touching exploration of love, memory, and the mysteries of those we think we know best. As Jurek and Ben navigate cultural clashes, absurd encounters, and long-buried grief, they begin to see each other — and their daughter — in a new light.
