Better Days 少年的你
Film de Derek Kwok-cheung Tsang 曾國祥

Produced by the magnificent team that bagged seven Golden Horse Awards nominations for Soul Mate (2016) Better Days (2019) is the fruit of the reunion of Golden Horse Best Director nominee Derek Kwok cheung Tsang and Best Actress Zhou Dongyu, and the addition of Jackson Yee from boy band TFBoys. Aspiring to enter the national top most school as a way out of poverty, straight-A student Chen Nian (Zhou Dongyu) finds herself entangled in a deadly accident involving her classmate and subsequent excruciation. In her darkest hours Nian finds an unlikely ally in orphaned street youth Bei (Jackson Yee), and the two damaged souls form a unique bond. But as they graduate into the more complicated adult world, the innocent promise they once made to each other may no longer suffice to lead them out of the dark.
