Synopsis

Imagine if the whole population on Earth had vanished except for you and 16 other people. Do every-day moral principles and long-standing religious orders still apply? How do we handle survival with the collapse of civilization? And how far are you willing to go in order to return to normal life?

Adapted from the 2012 best-selling novel ‘Lost On A Red Minibus To Taipo’, The Midnight After is a dark, tightly paced thriller revolving around an overnight minibus and its 17 passengers. It visualizes Hong Kong’s contemporary society in a post-apocalyptic setting and explores themes of destiny, faith and the relationship between mankind and their surrounding environment. Stripping the drama back to its basics, this story fundamentally explores the inner monsters of human nature.
