![The 23 years old young director Heiward Mak superbly designs and directs the phenomenal film to authenticate the tough, insolent, and rebellious teenage race. Acted by a cast with the average age of 17, High Noon is guaranteed to provide you with a fresh and authentic perspective for the raging youth hood for youngsters in Hong Kong.
While the world was welcoming for the Beijing Olympic Game, students in Hong Kong were busying to combat with the battle: O-level exam. 9 characters, in their adolescence age, were lost in the virtual and cruel reality that filled with sms, internet and materialism. The brittle and impetuous souls were touched by each other, with love and freedom that exclusively belongs to the youth. Crumbled friendship, frail love affair, complicated family, strikes between life and death, wear away the teenagerÂ’s heart in split second! Crying out loud for the aspiration to freedom under the sun! Honestly rise in the High Noon!](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BNDQ1NTQ3MzY0MV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMzExNTA2Mg@@._V1_QL75_UX500_CR0,47,500,281_.jpg)
