Sometimes, to protect what’s right, you must walk on the wrong side.
Once a feared triad enforcer, Tai (Philip Keung) now runs a small laundromat in the old district of Sham Shui Po, hoping to live quietly. But when the neighborhood faces forced evictions and gang-fueled intimidation, he is pulled back into the violence he tried to escape.
Set against the backdrop of Hong Kong’s vanishing old communities, The Remnant is a gripping story about survival, morality, and the blurred line between justice and revenge.
The city changes, but sins remain.
Director Mandrew Kwan crafts a raw portrait of working-class Hong Kong — a city where the powerless fight to hold onto dignity. With powerful performances by Philip Keung, Fish Liew, Cecilia Yip, and Kason So, The Remnant explores whether redemption is still possible in a world where evil reigns.
In a city of fading lights, even villains dream of doing good.
