The Distance We Drift (2026)
Some distances are not measured in miles, but in time.
After nearly a decade apart, two former lovers from Hong Kong unexpectedly meet again in the UK, where they have each built a different life. Their reunion brings back memories they have tried to move on from, as they slowly reconnect and begin to see how much has changed. Now living far from home, they are forced to face the distance between who they were and who they have become. Set within the everyday reality of immigrant life, The Distance We Drift is a quiet and intimate story about love, memory, and the way time reshapes people in ways they don’t always realise.
