ways they inflict emotional tortures on themselves and each other.

he befriends Chang,a kid from Taiwan.Without realising it,Lai begins
to fall in love with Chang.Meanwhile Ho's life continues to fall to
pieces.

One of the reasons I went to Argentina to shoot this film is that I
was tired of answering questions about the future of Hong Kong.
このフィルムを撮影するためにアルゼンチンへ行った理由の1つは、香港の将来についての疑問を考えることに、私が飽きていたということです。
