Claustrophobia ( traditional Chinese: 親密; simplified Chinese: 亲密) is a 2008 Hong Kong romantic drama film written and directed by Ivy Ho in her directorial debut, and starring Karena Lam and Ekin Cheng.
Pearl ( Karena Lam) has quietly fallen in love with her boss Tom ( Ekin Cheng), who's married with a family. Without warning, Tom asks Pearl to interview for another job. Wounded, Pearl demands that Tom terminate her. The gauntlet has been thrown down. In a space as small, crowded and claustrophobic as the office, love doesn't grow - it incubates and breeds, like a virus.
