There are two love stories at the heart of this film. One is universal: a woman grieves the loss of the love of her life. The other is more specific to Hong Kong: its cityscape has long featured wild neon designs with eye-catching splashes of light and color advertising any and all manner of businesses. That is, until Beijing decrees that Hong Kong’s uniqueness should be curbed, quashing the artists and craftsmen responsible for the city’s garish neon beauty. But more than commerce is at stake. These two love stories overlap when Heung, devastated by her skilled neon craftsman husband Bill’s passing, decides she must carry on his last wish to renovate one of his favorite luminous signs despite family opposition and her own lack of training. “The neon hues are so saturated, so rich, you almost want to swim in them.”—Wendy Ide, The Guardian.
