Director's Statement
Breathing is a sign of life. Yet when you are living in a big metropolitan city, trapped in concrete buildings. It could easily drain life out of people. This is also a personal film to echo my experience living in my home city, Hong Kong. If 90s was the golden days of this over-developed, overpopulated city. 00s is the going downhill days where people have nothing to live for, yet on the outside, still packaged as a booming, glamorous metropolitan city. I want to tell a story of a nobody living in big time unable to change anything and paint an elegy to a dying city.
