A landslide took Ming Mei's life and afterwards Fai married Ming Mei's roommate. One stormy day a mystery old phone booth appears on the road where Fai is working. To his surprise, Fai dials through to Ming Mei from 20 years ago. Soon today's Fai is calling Ming Mei every stormy day and his younger self feels threatened by the strange caller.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director constructs the narrative on the contrast between two time periods, relying on a phone booth as a magical portal. He builds tension not through spectacle, but through the quiet drama of a misguided choice and growing guilt, exploring how the past persistently inhabits the present.

What lingers after the credits is a gentle melancholy for what could have been and a reflection on the cost of every decision. The film is a poignant reminder that attempts to fix the past often lead to new losses in the now. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Albert Mak Kai-Kwong

Watch on a quiet evening, alone or with someone close, prepared for a contemplative, low-key drama.
