When your job is racing against death — do you still remember how to live?
Vital Signs shines a rare spotlight on Hong Kong’s paramedics — the ones who arrive first, witness the worst, and often leave with unseen wounds. Three paramedics, three journeys: each shaped by the strangers they save, and the inner battles they quietly fight.
Louis Koo plays veteran paramedic Ma Chi-yip, a man who has saved countless lives but remains stuck in his own crossroads. Neo Yau brings fire and fragility to rookie Wong Wai, whose ideals clash with a harsh reality. And Poon Chan-leung, as a soon-to-retire mentor, reminds us that letting go is also a kind of courage.
Directed by Vincci Cheuk with sincerity and restraint, the film doesn’t dramatize the job with explosions or chase scenes. Instead, it offers a grounded, deeply human portrait of frontliners — their fatigue, their fears, and the moments of quiet grace that keep them going.
This isn’t just a story about saving lives. It’s about learning how to forgive yourself, one rescue at a time.
💡 Vital Signs is a heartfelt tribute to Hong Kong’s unsung heroes. Step into their world this May 1.
