Left alone after the sudden passing of her husband Bill (Simon Yam), Mei Heung (Sylvia Chang) fights insomnia by spending night after night feeding coins into the slot machines in an arcade game hall. She is one of the few customers in this large, neon lit room that had long lost its prime.

A Light Never Goes Out is screening at Five Flavours
Neon lights have seldom been used as the backdrop of heart-warming dramas about love, solitude and longing, and more as the atmosphere-building coulisses for pulse-racing thrillers with dramatic outcomes. Anastasia Tsang takes the original approach in her drama “A Light Never Goes Out”, and makes the maximum out of Hong Kong's intensely colorful lights to create a dream-like world in which one woman finds her comfort and motivation to continue living.
