On the other hand, Edward finds his free days numbered as he faces rioting charges for taking part in the Mong Kok Protest.

Interesting facts

Development

In an interview with Stand News, director Nora Lam said she was inspired to make films after watching KJ Music and Life, a 2009 Hong Kong biopic. Lam noted that while she and Leung were both students at the University of Hong Kong's Faculty of Arts, she has never attempted to contact Leung, and her perception of Leung mainly came from depictions of him in mainstream media.
