Synopsis:

TAPE is a bold reimagining of Richard Linklater’s cult classic, relocated from the U.S. to Hong Kong and set against a post-#MeToo backdrop. When three former classmates reunite after 15 years, a buried secret resurfaces forcing them to confront the past, each other, and the silence around accountability. Unfolding in real-time, the film explores trauma, power, and truth through a uniquely East Asian lens.
