4.0

This was a strange, surreal story that you really had to concentrate on in the beginning to get some handle on. I think a lot of the metaphors went over my head but I’m assuming the love story is an allegory for an alternative Hong Kong and the current issues the region is facing. It was bizarre, confusing and weirdly compelling.
