Rashomon Hong Kong

SYNOPSIS: A love story engulfed by the turmoil of Hong Kong, 2019. A city at war with itself. Social and political conflicts insinuate themselves into every citizen's life. Families fragment, loyalties arequestioned and long-cherished relationships succumb to the slow-motion disintegration of a once iconic city - tearing itself apart.
