A devoted young woman and movie fan becomes the loyal housekeeper for a famous actor, blurring the line between admiration and obsession. As she immerses herself in his world, and he takes her more than for granted, her personal life and moral boundaries begin to unravel.
« Have you ever loved someone so deeply that you lost yourself in the process? This unspoken question haunts every frame of Bona, a film that forces the audience to confront the raw, often uncomfortable realities of devotion. Originally released in 1980, the film holds a mirror to a society tangled in its contradictions, its obsessions, and its relentless class struggles. » (The Asian Cut)
