Ying, a Hong Kong immigrant, has recently moved to the UK with her husband and son. Far from the life she once imagined, Ying feels increasingly lost in her new surroundings. When she unexpectedly reunites with her ex-boyfriend Hong - now an exiled photographer working in a supermarket - long-buried emotions resurface. As they wander through London retracing the historic path of Sun Yat-sen, the two reflect on love, exile, and identity.
A quiet, poetic exploration of longing, resilience, and the emotional cost of displacement.

What if you went on a holiday and the apocalypse happened? GALICIA! is a found-footage, hybrid-documentary following a couple through home video footage as they visit their friends at a winery in rural Spain and inadvertently capture the end of days. We live in a time where the sense of our impending mutually assured destruction is more real than it’s ever been. GALICIA! Takes the form of a holiday video - a document of a couple before - and after the great cataclysm. The film starts as something that feels unedited - an accidental video diary of an ordinary couple that feels somewhat ghostly as much as it is also pedestrian. As the film evolves and degrades, we are led to question the fragility of humanity, as well as its power to endure.
