[ OSAKA ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL ]
Four teenagers are divided by fate when they are caught up in the 1967 pro-China demonstrations against the British colonial government in Hong Kong that start in Chung Ying Street. Illegal immigrant Wing-kuen protests for food and shelter while Chun-man participates out of patriotism. Chun-man’s western-influenced female friend Lai-wah and her admirer Chi-ho don’t understand his passion. Their lives are changed forever after the government crackdown.
Flash-forward to 2019 and protestors with their roots in the pro-democracy Umbrella Movement of 2014 are at the barricades. Teenage girl Sze-wai and her boyfriend Yee-hong took part riots and were both sentenced to jail. Sze-wai is later released but Yee-hong has gone missing. Sze-wai’s ex-boyfriend Yat-long wants to get back together with her but her heart still belongs to Yee-hong who is hiding in the New Territories with a farmer who turns out to be Wing-kuen from the 1967 story. It seems like history is repeating itself as the old man has to fight for his rights once again with three teens.
Shot in black-and-white, this bravely political film is released at a time when people in Hong Kong argue over the limits of censorship and the power of mainland China and examines two important protest movements through the lives of people caught up in the turmoil of politics.

[ BROADWAY CIRCUIT ]
A woman is found strangled to death in an apartment in Tokyo's Katsushika Ward. The victim is Michiko Oshitani, a resident of Shiga Prefecture who worked for a home cleaning company. What's more, the occupant of the apartment where the murder took place, Mutsuo Koshikawa, has gone missing. Matsumiya and his fellow detectives of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police’s Investigation Section 1 begin investigating, but hit a brick wall when they fail to find any links between Oshitani and Koshikawa. Why was Oshitani, who lived in Shiga, killed in Tokyo?
Eventually, the detectives’ inquiries lead them to a theater director named Hiromi Asai. They learn that Oshitani came to Tokyo to visit her former classmate Asai, but again come up with nothing when searching for connections between Asai and Koshikawa, and their investigation grinds to a halt.
Matsumiya has a hunch that a charred corpse found nearby the murder scene may have some relevance to the case, and subsequently discovers an item among the victim’s belongings with the names of Nihonbashi’s 12 bridges written on it. When Kyoichiro Kaga learns of this, he is deeply shaken. It is somehow connected to his mother, who died alone...
