The verdict

There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is not currently playing in Hong Kong cinemas. 85 minutes.

What it is about

On Halloween night in Dublin, rugby player Jace meets aspiring filmmaker Charlie at a college party. They both attend Trinity but come from different worlds. Charlie is trans and involved in the arts, while Jace mostly hangs out with other straight guys from his team or business course. Despite their differences, they strike up a connection. After the party is abruptly broken up by the Guards, they continue getting to know each other while wandering around nighttime Dublin, reminiscing and sharing their dreams and concerns for life after college. When a startling connection from their shared past is revealed, Jace is forced to reckon with long-buried actions, and the social identity he’s taken for granted.

What to expect

Two Trinity students — Jace, a rugby player, and Charlie, an aspiring filmmaker — meet at a Halloween party and end up walking Dublin until sunrise. The movie stays with their conversation as it moves from small talk to the things they’re actually worried about: life after college, the selves they’ve been performing, and a piece of their shared history that Jace has never had to face. At 85 minutes, it’s compact and doesn’t rush to raise its voice. The screening is part of HKLGFF 2026, so it plays limited venues, in English with Chinese subtitles. The certificate is still unconfirmed.
