Vital Sign (2023)

In a remarkable dramatic performance, Louis Koo takes on the role of a seasoned ambulance worker, seeking to fulfill his duties without any meddling from his superiors. As he contemplates emigration with his daughter, he finds himself at odds with his ambitious new partner, a young go-getter climbing the bureaucratic ranks. Directed by Cheuk Wan-chi, this dramedy thoughtfully explores Hong Kong's civil service culture and the ongoing emigration wave. It serves as both a heartwarming and sobering tribute to the city and its residents, particularly those who continue to call it home.
