Synopsis
In 2019, the night in Hong Kong was still cloaked in mesmerizing beauty, but the landscape of everyday life was gradually changing. Perambulating the streets of Causeway Bay, Tsai Ming-Liang documented the city’s rhythm and ambience, along with an overpass. All the while, an old song lingered in his mind, “The beautiful night is slipping away. I hate to see you go. Why must our bliss end so soon? Why must we part when we’ve only just begun?”
