About

A cinematic techno-thriller about the fate of the intermediate links of progress.
Storyline

Hong Kong, nearest future.

Socio-economic crises have not been exhausted, and political contradictions are only getting sharper.
However, even against such a background, detached human minds learn to artificially recreate their likeness.

Techno-demo about itself, about self-reflection of the unfinished and artificial. My attempt to convey the voice of those who are dismissed and forgotten in the stream of indifferent progress.
