Synopsis

We're in Hong Kong in 2022. 25 years after the handover and 25 years after the graduation of three classmates who decide to organise a reunion. In bittersweet tones, director Amos Why captures the unusual day of the three and their (and our) relationship with their phones: one of them has forgotten theirs, another one's has been hacked, while the third's keeps receiving strange messages. And the fourth protagonist is Hong Kong itself.

Director’s Statement

Stemming from a pact made by the three protagonists 25 years ago, Everyphone Everywhere reflects urbanites’ reliance and trust of our modern day smartphones. Imagine forgetting to bring your phone, and for one reason or another you are not able to go home to retrieve it. How would you get through the day? Perhaps you won’t even remember the time of the appointment, or the address, or phone number, of even the route to the venue if you are disconnected from the internet. And when a stranger uses a smartphone to connect with you, will he or she turn out to be the way you imagined? Everyphone Everywhere explores our modern day reliance on technology, whilst lamenting on the simpler times in the past. 

導演的話

《全個世界都有電話》的核心故事，圍繞著 3 位朋友及其親人展開，從 25 年前的約定到實現，一方面藉由智慧手機、網路、社群軟體等當代人不可或缺的生活必需品，反映城市人對智能手機的依賴與信任。請試想，如果忘記帶手機出門，離家後又因為種種原因不能回家取回手機，那一天你會怎麼過？你可能記不起會議的時間，記不起約會的地點，找不到電話號碼，認不出要走的路線，跟整個世界斷絕聯絡。每當有陌生人透過智能手機跟你聯絡，那人的真實樣貌會跟你想像的一樣嗎？《全個世界都有電話》突顯了當代人對科技及時過境遷的感嘆。
