Cyclone

Upcoming drama Cyclone follows a transgender woman from mainland China who visits Hong Kong to receive gender-affirming surgery. While waiting for her procedure, she deals with medical bureaucracy and temporary housing. Through various brief interactions with strangers, she experiences a range of emotions from loneliness to solidarity.
