[ HONG KONG ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL ]
    The co-directorial debut of advertising director Ng Wing-shan and actor Yeung Chiu-hoi tells an affecting tale of female friendship and unlikely first loves. Nam and Yuet have been best friends since their school days. On the night before Yuet's wedding, Nam recalls their time together in school, when they shared a relationship that was more than friendship, but also perhaps not quite love. This lovingly nostalgic and bittersweet film offers a unique feminine twist on the well-worn youth romance formula.

    This is the story of a time before Lightning Flash and the Black Swordsman were known by those names...

    Asuna Yuuki was a girl in the ninth grade who'd never had anything to do with online games when she accidentally put on the NerveGear that fateful day.

    The game master speaks.

    This may be a game, but it's not something you play.

    "Game Over" means you die in the real world.

    Hearing this, the players are sent into a state of confusion, and pandemonium reigns in the game. One of these players is Asuna. Despite not even knowing the rules of this new world, she sets out on her journey to the floating steel castle of Aincrad, its apex not yet visible.

    As she continues to live on in this world where death is always a step away, Asuna has a fateful encounter followed by a parting...

    Despite being at the mercy of this strange reality, she fights on valiantly until someone appears before her: the solitary swordsman, Kirito...
