Wong Yi-Wai

There are only three important things in life for saxophone player Kelvin: music, his mother and his best friend. At sixty, his life suddenly loses meaning after his mother and best friend pass away one after the other. Once a self-proclaimed loner, he now finds the solitude unbearable and worrisome. Things change when a newly divorced lounge singer Qiling starts working in the same bar. Kelvin’s heart is reignited knowing Qiling shares the same passion for oldies. When love comes knocking at the door, Kelvin finds himself ready to play an evening song.

The conflicts between two generations, between the urban and the rural are intensively examined. When a grandfather and his grandchild experience loss concurrently, 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.
