Robbery

In the anarchic, absurd world of a Hong Kong indie film that brilliantly captures youthful angst, our anti-hero is a self-proclaimed "player" living in a city where nothing makes sense and hope seems elusive. He lands a job as an overnight clerk at a convenience store, finding solace in the company of his co-worker - an attractive woman who offers more than just camaraderie amidst chaos. However, their budding romance takes a violent turn when a robbery unfolds, leading to a dangerous standoff with a local gangster. As the night descends into further madness, neighbors emerge with homemade weapons, reflecting the despair and defiance of a city's inhabitants who have lost faith in better tomorrows. Through its gritty realism and dark humor, this film offers an unflinching portrayal of Hong Kong's disillusioned youth, grappling with a world that seemingly burns around them.
