The film feels delicate and almost improvised – it’s surprising to learn it took three weeks to make. It’s best described as a love letter to Hong Kong, filled with quick, candid shots of the city’s streets, markets, parks, and trains. The slightly unsteady, fragmented visuals reflect the fleeting lives of the characters. The story centers on Zi (Michelle Mao), a violinist lost in Hong Kong, struggling with a mysterious neurological condition that causes her to have visions – glimpses of her past or perhaps her future. She confides in Elle (Haley Lu Richardson, known for her role in the film Columbus), an American woman with a noticeable wig who seems genuinely worried. Both women are observed by Min (Jin Ha), a man whose connection to them remains unclear.
