In a dystopian landscape where survival hinges on conformity, Hong Kong's citizens face an unprecedented transformation through an unsettling government initiative. This program encourages individuals to physically join together, fostering a sense of unity while also subsuming their identities. As the streets become filled with bizarre pairings and communal experiences, the ethical and emotional ramifications of such drastic measures unfold, challenging the fabric of personal freedom.
Amidst this unsettling backdrop, two protagonists navigate the complexities of loss, connection, and identity. They grapple not only with the physical bond imposed upon them but also with their innermost desires and fears. Through their journey, they reveal the essence of what it means to be human in a society that prizes conformity over individuality, ultimately exploring the profound impact of relationships on the psyche.
