Trailer

In March 2023, Hong Kong, scarred by three years of lockdowns and political turmoil under a stringent security law, faces uncertainty. Yet, there's optimism, especially in its art scene. The M+ Museum, designed by Herzog & de Meuron and housing a major collection from Uli Sigg, opened after a decade. Within a year, it attracted over 2 million visitors. The film explores its impact and the emerging young artists defying constraints, hinting at a hopeful future for Hong Kong's art.
