It should be a director’s instinct to discover stories out of the ordinary. Lo Chun-yip’s Sister Kam finds the power of life among the hundreds of back lanes; Hui Chi-san’s YATRI is the tale about a Nepalese family with “no matter how hard it is, life must go on” being the motif.

Montagut Chuen’s animation Before Dying depicts the different forms in which lives fade away; Wong Siu-pong’s Yau King is a hundred-year-old lady’s life lesson.
