Overview

For every emigration wave, there is always a wave of return to Hong Kong. Leaving and returning seem to be the beginning of the journey for rootless Hong Kongers. Perhaps Hong Kongers are destined to wander in a cycle of uncertainty. Emily and her fiancé Vincent immigrate to the UK with hopes of starting a new life. They will take over the home of Megan, an old classmate who has lived there for several years and decided to return to Hong Kong. The three friends roam around London and will bid farewell to each other after spending the day together. It is goodbye but it is also the start of a new journey. The director uses this film to express her own feelings after going through the same journey. She carefully inserts daily life details to show the cultural differences and reflects on the faint sadness of exchanging fates.
