[ 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.
