What it is about
A decade ago, Cheung Lek was the brightest rising boxing star—known as “Golden Boy”—until a tragic incident stripped him of his freedom. Ten years later, released from prison, he comes face to face with Fong Yuen, the son he has never met. To claim the inheritance left by Fong Yuen’s mother, Cheung must learn to live with and take care of the boy. Thrust into fatherhood and confronted by past regrets, Cheung’s life is turned upside down once more. Through conflict and gradual reconciliation with his son, he begins to understand his true purpose. Confronting the ghosts of his past, Cheung decides to return to the ring—not only to reclaim his dream, but to become the role model his son deserves.
What to expect
Dayo Wong plays a boxer who walks out of prison into a life he never built: a teenage son he has not met, and an inheritance that depends on the two of them living under one roof. Anselm Chan and Chris Keller direct, keeping the focus on the uneasy, day-to-day friction between a man who only knows how to fight and a boy who has every reason to resent him. Richard Syms and Michael Hui fill out the supporting cast. The movie runs 126 minutes and carries a IIB certificate, so it is not suitable for younger children. It screens in English with Chinese subtitles. This is a bc30 x APAAA special presentation, meaning it will not appear in every cinema — check listings before you go.
