- Synopsis:
- Executive produced by Sammo Hung, 'Hong Kong 1941' follows three Hongkongers forced to negotiate life under occupation as their homeland falls to the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. Ha Yuk-nam (Cecilia Yip) is a young woman locked in a love triangle with her close friends Yip Kim-fei (Chow Yun-Fat) and Wong Hak-keung (Alex Man). As they dream of escape, their complicated personal relationships play out against the background of oppression and brutality that was brought to Hong Kong by Japanese rule between 1941 and 1945.
