Always Be with You

The story revolves around a traditional romantic relationship between a male hotel owner and his girlfriend. There is no indication of non-straight relationships or narratives that challenge the assumption that everyone is straight.

A female character gains a significant role in driving the story by taking control of a hotel following a tragedy. However, it is unclear whether this shift subverts or follows traditional gender roles.

Set in Hong Kong, the film features a predominantly East Asian cast. The representation aligns with the local context but does not aim to blend diverse ethnic groups.

The film delves into themes of mortality and systemic tragedy through a lens of fatalism. It avoids idealized community portrayals, focusing instead on individual suffering and social instability.

The protagonist faces a terminal cancer diagnosis, serving as a catalyst for plot tension. It is unclear if the character maintains control over their situation or if the illness merely increases the sense of dread.
