This retrospective of Hong Kong poet and novelist Leung Ping-kwan, pen name Ye Si, covers the writer's life from 1950 to near the time of his death in 2013. Considered a cultural icon in Hong Kong, Ye Si told the filmmaker to focus on his friendships with family, fellow scholars, writers, artists, as well as fashion designers and food connoisseurs, many of whom are interviewed for this documentary. "You will find parts of me in each of them," he said. Containing rare footage of Ye Si's final years of life, this film reflects the vibrant culture of Hong Kong and its history of interdisciplinary collaboration and exchange of ideas.
