My First of May

Tang Suk Yin, a local squash champion, lives a seemingly beautiful life with his wife, Elaine, as they prepare for the birth of their first child. But their joy quickly fades when their daughter, Tang Chi, is diagnosed with a rare spinal disease. Against all odds, Chi survives, but the pressure shatters the family, leaving Chi to the care of her grandmother. A decade later, when Chi’s grandmother can no longer care for her, Suk Yin must overcome his grief and reconnect with his daughter.

My First of May is a heartfelt tale of healing, where father and daughter navigate the pain of their past to rediscover love and connection. Starring the iconic Aaron Kwok, one of Hong Kong’s “Four Heavenly Kings,” the film tenderly explores family bonds, resilience, and the strength found in shared healing. It reminds us to treasure life’s small victories and find joy even in the most challenging times, offering hope and inspiration to face life’s storms.
