What it is about

Wah Fu Estate in Aberdeen is the home of many urban legends, but few were as outlandish as the one that happened in the 1980s: One night, residents turned their heads to the sky and saw a giant UFO hovering above them for five minutes. No one else could prove or explain the odd phenomenon, but it becomes the pivotal event for three young people.

What viewers said

There is maybe more of the metaphorical UFO here than any real one, but it serves as quite a useful conduit for the stories of the lives of three childhood friends. It's "Kin", "Hoy-Yi" and "Heem" who are on the roof of the hospital amidst an almost biblical thunderstorm when they see something emerge from the clouds that continues to inspire them for the rest of heir lives.
