Overview

Hong Kong, after the city's last social movement, whose end was accompanied by the arrival of the global pandemic. Despite its efforts, the social movement did not triumph, and the city saw its last ‘legal’ demonstration at the end of 2019. Years later, a traveller returns to her hometown, Hong Kong. During her 9-hour stopover in Istanbul, the meeting point between Europe and Asia, she explores the city and whispers her innermost thoughts. The film shows the adventure of uncertainty before coming face to face again with the concept of home.
