An empty glass on the windowsill. A letter without a signature. For a Taoist priest, the ritual of "Breaking Hell" is a familiar rite to guide the dead. But when a young man requests the ceremony for his own living father, the priest must confront a more profound and earthly darkness. This 2024 drama explores the weight of familial duty, the scars of silence, and the painful rituals we perform for the living, set against the backdrop of Hong Kong's fading traditions.

The director constructs the narrative around a ritual, where each gesture deepens a quiet, somber immersion. The visuals are restrained, and the sound design amplifies a sense of interior void.
This is for a viewer prepared for a slow meditation on memory and obligation. It leaves behind not loud feelings, but a quiet, lingering resonance. — MovieFinder Editorial
