Belated Listen

Sum, son of a policeman, is bullied at school and finds no comfort or care at home. As the demonstrations and violence in Hong Kong escalate, he suffers more violent and humiliating bullying. Wing, Sum's father, also faces enormous pressure under investigation of police brutality. The rift between father and son widens as the latter is increasingly abused and isolated at school. Things get out of control when the angry Sum unexpectedly finds a gun amidst the upheaval.

Directed by Ferris Lin, Belated Listen leans on a strong ensemble — Henick Chou, Wong Man-Shing, Leung Chi Pang — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2020.
