Following the journey of Hong Kong migrants, the film explores the tension between their identity and role in a modern society.

Hongkongers, still living in the aftermath of the 2019 protests, are leaving by the thousands to the UK to forge a free future. Through intimate observations, the film cuts through the smoke and fire of the 2019 protests to reveal the current state of post-trauma in Hong Kong and offers a glimpse into its possible futures.

What will become of Hongkongers in a foreign land? Can they break free from the past? Where can they truly find home?
