Set in contemporary London, Lilting tells the story of a Cambodian-Chinese mother (Cheng Pei Pei) mourning the untimely death of her son. Her world is suddenly disrupted by the presence of a stranger (Ben Whishaw). We observe their difficulties in trying to connect with one another without a common language. Through a translator they piece together memories of a man they both loved dearly, and realise that whilst they may not share a language, they are connected in their grief.
