I Come Empty-handed

A talented boxer living in Hong Kong is forced to give up his sport due to his status as an asylum seeker. While his coach attempts to help him establish a stable life and career in the city, the protagonist takes on volunteer work and helps people move. Through these interactions, he meets other residents, including Raja and Bitto, and learns about their difficult life stories. This experience leads him to realize that while others have lost everything, his passion for boxing remains a constant part of his identity.
