Citizen Hong Kong plot

After more than twenty years, filmmaker Ruby Yang returned from San Francisco to her native Hong Kong. Much has changed in that period, culminating in the transfer of power from British colonial rule to the People's Republic of China. The year after the transfer did not bring the expected political turmoil. For this documentary, Yang focused on the daily lives of the 'transitional generation': young people trying to build up their lives in present-day Hong Kong. Five typical but diverse representatives of this generation kept a video diary for a year.
