    August 8th, 1995, hours before the ceremony for “Big B”, the largest and most advanced helicopter of the Japan Defense Agency, an unseen mastermind remotely activates and hijacks it. Equipped with a huge payload of explosives, the unmanned aircraft takes up a stationary position in the sky above an operational nuclear power plant. A single demand of the hijacker “Hovering Bee” is faxed to the electric company, the media, the police and the prefectural government: “Destroy every nuclear plant within Japan.” There’re only eight hours to rescue the population of Japan, before the helicopter’s fuel runs out.

Rebels strive to preserve destroyed homes and objects as specimens in the mesmerizing Season of the End. In Dialect, a taxi driver struggles to adjust after Putonghua displaces Cantonese as Hong Kong’s only official language. Following the death of a leading independence activist, an act of self-immolation outside the British consulate triggers questions and protests in the searing yet moving Self-Immolator.
