Synopsis

Last year, as the redevelopment of Hong Kong’s Tai Hang Sai Estate neared, some residents refused to move out and rejected the relocation contract terms. Mr. Kwok was one of the most vocal protestors. He spent his free time writing slogans and creating performance art to oppose the plan. This film follows his struggle as he and his wife face losing their family home and lifelong memories. The story delves into themes of resistance, belonging, and nostalgia, deeply rooted in Hong Kong's social fabric.
