HONG KONG.
A fascinating city.
A place we all die trying to save, yet can’t wait to escape from.
Armie gives up all his dreams and go to Berlin,
with the only things he has - his girlfriend and his old cat.
There, he fights desperately for a chance to stay.
In the rebellious city, they find peace they’ve been longing for.
Counting down 365 days, coming back is NOT an option!
“Fxxx Hong Kong! I am a Hong Konger!”
Struggling between hope and anxiety, ease and repression,
Armie can’t help asking himself,
“Who are we? Why do we have to go?”
