A Guilty Conscience
Directed by Jack Ng, A Guilty Conscience tells the story of a former judge, Adrian Lam (Dayo Wong), who was dismissed from his position and becomes a lawyer. With the help of his best friend, he agrees to take on the case of Jolene Tsang (Louise Wong), a single mother who is accused of killing her own daughter. The case initially seems simple, but becomes complex, filled with twists involving powerful people.

A Light Never Goes Out
This film is a bittersweet story of a middle-aged woman Mei-hsiang (Sylvia Chang) who tries to fulfil the dream of her late husband, a neon sign-maker. The film serves as a beautiful tribute to the art of neon sign-making, which is a unique feature of Hong Kong stores that is gradually disappearing.
