Trinity CineAsia has secured UK-Ireland distribution rights to Herman Yau’s We’re Nothing At All in a deal with Golden Scene and is planning a theatrical release on May 29.
The Hong Kong social drama is inspired by true events that took place in Wuhan in 1998 and centres on a fatal bus explosion. Evidence points to a deliberate act by two passengers, a gay couple from troubled backgrounds. As a retired forensic expert investigates, he uncovers their tragic story of abuse, homophobia and despair, culminating in their decision to die in a suicidal protest against an unjust world.
The cast is led by Patrick Tam of the Breakout Brothers series, Anson Kong from boyband Mirror, and Ansonbean of The Lyricist Wannabe.
It marks the first feature produced under Yau’s banner, The Plan Company, and is fully self-financed, marking a return to his roots in socially conscious filmmaking.
Yau has more than 80 directing credits, ranging from cult exploitation titles like The Untold Story to the blockbuster Shock Wave franchise.
The film opened locally on April 3 and expanded its screen count in its second week following strong word of mouth. It had its world premiere at the Hong Kong International Film Festival, where it won the Audience Choice Award, and received its international premiere in competition at the Far East Film Festival in Udine.
