In-person Q&A with Director/Producer Jimmy Lo and Producer Helena Wu

Amid the post-2019 Hong Kong exodus, a schoolteacher and an artist embark on a three-year immigration journey to Canada, where they grapple with unforeseen psychological challenges, putting their decision, identity, and relationship to the test in a relentless search for a place to call home. The unspoken question – “Is it worth it?” – lingers between them, and the camera searches for an answer.
