Hong Kong activists of the 1970s.

Sinekatalog’s take

Ann Hui's drama follows Hong Kong activists of the 1970s and their later lives, in a humane, sprawling look at idealism and disillusion. Frank and affecting, it stands among her fine political films.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
