Victoria and Wilhelm Tell

The film tells the story of Lap Yan, a teenager who remains at home during the SARS outbreak in 2003. His life takes a turn when a new neighbor visits him, leading to a day filled with unexpected companionship. As they connect, Lap Yan remains unaware of the changes happening in the outside world, which will ultimately impact his future.

Directed by an emerging filmmaker, Victoria and Wilhelm Tell offers a thought-provoking look at a Hong Kong that never experienced the transfer of sovereignty in 1997. The film's unique premise and exploration of personal relationships within a distinct historical context make it a notable addition to the drama and romance genres.
