Away with Words(1999)

Away with Words is a contemplative drama that follows two men—a Japanese visitor and a Hong Kong gay bar owner—as they share drinks and stories late into the night. Over beer, they exchange memories of their childhoods and reflect on the experiences that have shaped their lives. The film captures an intimate conversation between strangers, exploring themes of connection, identity, and the quiet moments that reveal who we really are. Set against the backdrop of Hong Kong's vibrant nightlife, Away with Words is a character-driven portrait of human connection across cultural boundaries, where vulnerability and honesty emerge through simple dialogue and shared understanding.
