According to an ancient proverb, anyone who catches a leaf as it falls from the branch of a tree will be granted their dearest wish. Leung and Will are 16 years of age and friends. Both are aware of this proverb and, the longer the boys try to catch a leaf, the more Leung’s wish becomes apparent. He wants to kiss Will. But - will he succeed?
BIOGRAFIE Hong Khaou
Screen Star of Tomorrow Hong Khaou spent several years at independent film distribution company Peccadillo Pictures.
