The verdict

There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is playing 1 time at 1 cinema across 1 district, from HK$120. The cheapest seat is at Emperor Cinemas Tai Wai (The Wai) in Tai Wai, HK$120. Category IIA · 108 minutes.

What it is about

Shan, an art assistant, juggles responsibilities on the film set and at the hospital, where she cares for her father, Kueng, who has cancer. During her time at the hospital, Shan is tasked by the crew to collect a big bowl from the prop-studio. At her father's request, they discreetly leave the hospital together, embarking on an unexpected journey from the studio to Macau, and subsequently to Okinawa, allowing Kueng to address his unfulfilled wishes. Following his peaceful passing, Shan inherits not only memories but also a lasting sense of courage, optimism, and imaginative spirit that sustains her throughout life.

What to expect

Shan works as an art assistant on a movie crew while looking after her father Kueng in hospital. When he asks to slip away, the two take off — first to a prop studio, then Macau, then Okinawa — so he can tie up loose ends. The trip is quiet and unruly in equal measure, and the movie holds that balance without tipping into sentiment. Nick Cheung Ka-Fai and Chung Suet Ying carry the father-daughter dynamic with a lightness that keeps the illness from dominating the screen. Co-directors Wong Hoi and Norris Wong Yee-Lam shoot the journey in practical, lived-in spaces, which gives the later stretch in Okinawa some real air. The screening is a one-off preview with a director Q&A, so it is the only chance to catch the movie before its September 26 release. It is playing at a single cinema this week, rated IIA, runs 108 minutes, and the cheapest ticket is HK$120. Anyone who finds most cancer dramas too tidy may warm to this one.
