Drifting
Directed by Jun Li
Produced by MM2 Studios Hong Kong, MM2 Entertainment
A sobering, intimate portrait of homelessness and addiction in Hong Kong, where survival and human connection persist amid systemic indifference and institutional erasure.
Just out of jail, Fai finds a spot on a street corner where other homeless people welcome him. But he doesn’t get much time to settle in. The police soon chase them away, and their possessions disappear into a garbage truck. Young social worker Ms. Ho thinks it’s time to fight this in court. In the meantime, Fai and his friends have other concerns.
