What to expect
Wallnex Jim spent over a decade gathering footage for this portrait of Mao Sau Rescue, the Hong Kong group that answers daily calls about injured, abandoned, and stray animals. The movie is built around that frontline work — the phone rings, the volunteers go out, whatever the weather or the calendar says — and the wider question of how a city’s planning, economy, and everyday habits quietly determine which creatures suffer and which survive. Kent Luk appears among those featured. The tone is direct and unsentimental; the camera stays close to the animals without turning their distress into spectacle. It opens 22 May 2026, playing four screenings in its first week across four cinemas in four districts. The cheapest ticket is HK$75. Half of the net box-office revenue, after the cinema’s rental cost is deducted, goes to Mao Sau Rescue to cover monthly rescue and medical bills. Runtime is 90 minutes, rated IIB.
