Hard Rolled Cigarette

A former Hong Kong Military Service Corps officer becomes caught in a triad manhunt when he takes in a South Asian man carrying a bag of stolen drugs. Forced to live under the same roof, the two men transcend their cultural differences to form an unlikely friendship in this poignant tale of loyalty and brotherhood. Reminiscent of the golden age of Hong Kong action cinema but given a neo-noir spin, actor Chan Kin-Long makes his directorial debut with this gritty bromance drama of two people struggling in a city that has left them behind.
