Anger breeds anger, and hatred breeds hatred. Restaurant owner Mr. Wong stresses about the business when he has to face rent increases every year. Restless and tense, he channels his anger to Ka Yeung, the timid newest employee. Taunted by his customers, his boss and life in general, Ka Yeung is barely keeping his head above the water with his father being an unlicensed hawker. One incident escalates to another like a Greek tragedy and anger spirals out of control, causing irreparable outcome. This is a story about two men who live in an unforgiving city, both trying to find their way out but ended up hurting each other. ★ Live Talk and Q&A Session on July 29th, 2023 at 18:00 (TW time) ★ The director’s post-screening talk video is attached in the trailer section below.
