一顆石頭引申出命運的辯證。離港前夕，一名年輕人前往離島老人院向祖父道別，聽他講述昔日香港的輝煌與風流往事。當夜，他在一座已成同志幽會場所的公園中，意外遇見祖父年輕時的秘密情人。現實與記憶交錯，虛實命運交織，令他在不確定的前程間陷入迷惘不安。
A stone triggers a dialectic on fate. On the eve of leaving Hong Kong, a young man visits his grandfather at an island nursing home to say goodbye, listening to stories of Hong Kong’s glorious past and his grandfather’s romantic history. That night, in a park now known as a gay cruising spot, he unexpectedly meets his grandfather’s secret lover from youth. Reality and memory blur, fictional and real fates intertwine, leaving him bewildered and uneasy as he faces an uncertain future.

《幽會》是一部非傳統敘事的劇情短片採用即興創作方式，導演先設定世界觀與故事背景，再由演員在行進中即興互動與對話，邊走邊拍。作品試圖捕捉香港年輕一代在遷徙與移 民掙扎中所感受到的焦慮與不安。透過主角夢幻般的旅程，探討存在、自身根源與命運的主 題。主角在一座已變成幽會地點的公園，與年輕時的祖父輩展開超現實相遇，營造迷惘與時空界限模糊的感受，反映當代人在不確定的未來與逐漸消失的熟悉景觀中所面對的焦慮狀態。
WE JUST HAPPEN TO BE HERE is an unconventional narrative short film that adopts an improvisational approach. The director first sets the world view and story background, then lets the actors interact and converse spontaneously while moving, filming them on the go. The work attempts to capture the anxiety and unease felt by Hong Kong's younger generation amid struggles with migration and emigration. Through the protagonist's dreamlike journey, the film explores themes of existence, roots, and fate. In a park that has become a rendezvous spot, the protagonist has a surreal encounter with their grandfather in his youth, creating a sense of confusion and blurred temporal boundaries, reflecting the anxiety of contemporary individuals facing an uncertain future and the gradual disappearance of familiar landscapes.
