The metropolis of Hong Kong underwent an unprecedented social-political upheaval in 2019. Facing disillusionment, persecution and exodus, the plight of today’s youth echoes that of past activists. By juxtaposing documentary and narrative film, the filmmaker has constructed an inter-generational discourse to explore changing identities in a seemingly insurmountable battle against totalitarianism.
