Introducing

Shot a few months before Hong Kong joined China, director Fruit Chan’s third film angrily conveys the sense of urgency in a society with an uncertain future.

Restored version

Synopsis

Autumn Moon is a young, go-nowhere triad whose self-regard far outstrips his talents or accomplishments. While working as a debt collec­tor, Moon meets feisty teen Ping, who suffers from renal failure and needs a kidney transplant, though her chances of receiving one are slim. Nevertheless, Moon falls for Ping and idealistically resolves to improve himself and become her ‘saviour.’ But that goal may be futile for someone of Moon’s station and temperament.
