Ajyal Short Films Programme 1: Belonging
Ajyal Short Film Competition

At the end of summer, a group of friends bid farewell to their childhood with a final football match and a daring escapade, each about to set off on a different path in life.
During his final summer before switching schools, Kwong plans a farewell football match with his classmates. However, as the holiday winds down, their search for a place to play is repeatedly blocked by construction, a seniors’ dance group, and a gang of local teens. Refusing to give up, the friends stage one last game, a symbolic goodbye to childhood before they each head toward new and uncertain futures.
