Fence

籬笆

Overview

Mohsin has hopes and dreams to pursue like any local Hong Kong youngster but is held back by a lack of chance and confidence. His father belongs to an older generation of immigrants still holding onto familiar, touchstone Indian traditions and ways. When a case of mistaken identity lands Shahid into their home, his uninhibited ability to express with his voice and body reinvigorates Mohsin’s passion for singing. Following a debut performance that ends in boos and jeers, and an imposter duly debunked, only a page out of Shakespeare and a Bollywood-sque song-and-dance sequence (what else?) can restore confidence and knock down the fence. Will Mohsin again take to the stage, wow with his style and make his father proud?
