synopsis

What happens to identity, when personal history falls away? Kit Hui's elegant film follows a young man beset by amnesia as he pieces together his past, present and future - while around him, Hong Kong celebrates the tenth anniversary of its reunification with China. Broodingly atmospheric, and acute in its treatment of family, nationhood and late-twenties hedonism, this is a complete work by a filmmaker of immense promise
