An actress heading to the US impulsively asks her dance instructor on a date on her last night in Shanghai.
We’ve seen this sort of tale before (the director admits the jumping off spot is the Before films), but it really doesn’t matter when it’s told as wonderfully as this.
Easily one of my favorite films of Tribeca EPHEMERA delights the soul thanks to two wonderful lead performances, and script that gets out of the way and just lets the ladies work. This if a case of not so much telling a story but opening a door on two lovely people and letting us watch them interact for a while.
Nothing happens and everything does.
Its glorious.
Highly recommended.
One of the best of 2026.
