What it is about
Owen, once a celebrated stage director, has spent more than a decade lost in creative paralysis. In an attempt to revive his reputation, he sets out to produce a new play, casting a completely unknown female lead, to whom he is increasingly drawn. However, the sudden appearance of his former movie-star lover sets off a chain of events that blurs the boundary between performance and reality. The debut directorial feature by Keane Wong presents a compelling play within a play, inviting the audience to ponder the humanity in struggle infused with profound emotional depth and conflict.
What to expect
A theatre director trying to rebuild his career finds his life blurring with the play he is writing, as he is pulled between a former lover, an estranged wife, and a newcomer actress. The drama shifts between reality and the stage. It runs 113 minutes, in Chinese with English and Chinese subtitles, and opens in Hong Kong on 17 September 2026. The cast includes Stephen Fung, Angela Yuen, Chrissie Chau, and Myolie Wu. It was the opening movie of the Shanghai International Film Festival and also screened at the New York Asian Film Festival.
