THE HONGKONGERS
This film explores the conflicts between two generations and between the urban and the rural. When a grandfather and his grandchild experience loss at the same time, they realize the older generation’s protection of the ancestral land and the youth’s defense of the city are cut from the same cloth. Decades have passed, but the people of Hong Kong still do not have an answer for their rootlessness.
