No Time for Goodbye (15)

This debut feature of journalist-turned-director Don Ng presents the loneliness and limbo of asylum seeking in the UK. Bureaucracy intertwines with the lives of people from different backgrounds, capturing the experience of waiting and displacement.

Two Hong Kong asylum seekers rebuilding their lives in Britain form an unexpected bond as they navigate isolation and systemic uncertainty. Set in contemporary Britain, No Time for Goodbye follows Bosco and Yasmin—two young Hongkongers seeking asylum after political upheaval. Their intersecting lives and tentative relationship explore exile, identity and the fragile hope of starting again.
