Trivisa

A chance encounter between three gangsters plying the border between Hong Kong and China just before the 1997 handover sets the stage for this intricate tale filmed by three young directors mentored by Johnnie To.  Trivisa interweaves plans gone awry, missed opportunities, and dead ends, reimagining not just the end of an era but the explosive beginnings of 21st-century Hong Kong.
