    Is it really better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all? Mugi and Kinu meet by chance one night, after missing the last train. They believe that they have found the ideal partner in each other through shared interests in music, movies and books, but the relationship eventually turns sour when reality gets in the way. Critically acclaimed for his cracking dialogue and complex characters, television screenwriter Sakamoto Yuji returns to film for the first time in 14 years with this brutally honest chronicle of a four-year relationship’s ups and downs.

[ BROADWAY CIRCUIT ]
    Actor Chan Kin-long makes his directorial debut with a gritty bromance drama born out of the much-lauded First Feature Film Initiative. In his finest performance to date, award-winning actor Gordon Lam Ka-Lung plays a former Hong Kong Military Service Corps officer who becomes caught in a triad manhunt when he takes in an ethnic South Asian man carrying a bag of stolen drugs. Forced to live under the same roof, the two men transcend their cultural and racial differences to form a beautiful friendship in this poignant tale of loyalty and brotherhood.

[ SCREEN DAILY ]
    A retired soldier, formerly in the British colonial army, agrees to store drugs for a South Asian small-time crook. The two men bond when they realize they are both leftovers from a long-gone colonial past, but loyalties are tested when it's revealed that the drugs have been stolen from an underworld kingpin.

[ FIRST FEATURE FILM INITATIVE ]
    A story of how a retired British-Chinese soldier and a marginalised young South Asian man face the plight of being abandoned by society.
