Sons of the Neon Night

Set in a snow-struck and surreal Hongkong, the film opens with gunmen aimlessly shooting in the over-crowded neon-lit downtown area. A series of seeming accidents lead to with the chairman of a pharmaceutical group, and secretive god father of illegal drug trade, killed in an explosion of the hospital he was detained. The city is in chaos, the police paralysed and the family businesses in turmoil. The youngest son, determined to break from the family’s disreputable past, will be the natural successor only if his fugitive elder brother and his deceased father’s followers present no hurdles. The film’s Chinese title, Feng (Wind) Lin (Forrest) Huo (Fire) Shan (Mountain) originates from the military classic, Sun Tzu’s The Art of War. In Sons of Neon Night, family is the ultimate battlefield.
