To the Fore

In the world of professional cycling, where teamwork demands individual sacrifice, the three leading sprinters of Team Radiant must confront their own egos and aspirations as the competition becomes increasingly tough. Arrogant cyclist Ming cares more about personal glory than the good of the team. His shy teammate Tian is unlucky in both love and sports. Finally, the third teammate, Korean Ji-won, is forced to confront the ethics of his manager.

Directed by Dante Lam Chiu-yin, To the Fore leans on a strong ensemble — Eddie Peng Yu-Yan, Choi Si-won, Shawn Dou — 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 romance titles of 2015.
