Shed Skin Papa is a 2016 Hong Kong comedy-drama film written by Norihiko Tsukada and Roy Szeto based on Tsuksda's Japanese play Nukegara, and directed by Szeto, who had previously directed an award-winning Hong Kong stage adaptation of the play titled Shed Skin in 2011. The film stars Louis Koo as a washed-out, debt-ridden film director who must take care of his seventy nine-year-old dementia-ridden father, who begins to shed a layer a skin everyday where regains his youth.

Production

To prepare for his role as Louis Koo's father, Francis Ng asked Koo whether he could meet Koo's father and had a meal with Koo and his father to observe their relationship and emulate it into his acting. Ng, whose role's age spans from youth to elderly, was initially only interested in playing the roles closest to his age, but was persuaded by director Roy Szeto to play all age versions of the role.
