離開的我們
Some distances are not measured in miles, but in time.
After nearly a decade apart, two former lovers from Hong Kong unexpectedly meet again in the UK, where they have each built a different life. Their reunion brings back memories they have tried to move on from, as they slowly reconnect and begin to see how much has changed. Now living far from home, they are forced to face the distance between who they were and who they have become. Set within the everyday reality of immigrant life, The Distance We Drift is a quiet and intimate story about love, memory, and the way time reshapes people in ways they don’t always realise.
The Distance We Drift (2026) is a drama and romance film directed by Lee Sonnie, released on March 26, 2026 with a runtime of 1h 31m. It stars Yoyo Chan lok Yo, Roger King, Kinhikar Ashwini Deole and David de la Rosa.

Watched this again recently and it still feels very personal to me. I made The Distance We Drift after moving from Hong Kong to the UK. That period of my life was quite uncertain. I wasn’t working in film anymore, doing different jobs and trying to adjust, and there was a quiet sense of distance that I couldn’t really explain at the time. This film came out of that feeling. It’s about two people who meet again…
