The verdict
There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is not currently playing in Hong Kong cinemas. 90 minutes.
What it is about
A grieving veteran member of a local dragon boat training centre, shattered by his son’s disappearance in a sea accident, encounters the restless spirit of a young surfer lost to the waves. Lighting an eternal lantern by the shore, he tries to guide the soul home—while confronting the grief that has haunted him for a decade.
What to expect
A decade after his son vanished at sea, a dragon boat veteran lights a shore lantern for a drowned surfer’s restless spirit—and finds the ritual dragging him back through his own unresolved grief. Cheng Sei Hong and Shasha Huang co-direct this 90-minute Cantonese drama, which grounds its ghost story in the textures of a local training centre and Hong Kong’s coastal traditions. Emotion Cheung, Hedwig Tam, Adora F. Fouque and Lyman Heung lead the cast. The movie carries a bc30 certificate (viewers 30 and above), plays in standard format at select cinemas, and opens 17 September 2026 with English and Chinese subtitles.
