Having lived half their lives here, three men get to relive each a pivotal moment in Hong Kong history. Each a player in a revolution of their times, the values they shared with the larger movements paved the way to the present-day Hong Kong. How will they continue to shape the future? Through the lives and fate of three individuals, this film reflects on Hong Kong and China’s love-hate relationship, embrace and escape, commitment and betrayal.
