Bill Wong works on a wide variety of films, some of modern setting, some with historical backgrounds; some are award winners, some lesser known. As a cinematographer, he does not strive for personal style. Instead, he concentrates on fulfilling the potential of the film and realizing his director’s designs. He is a consummate team player. This documentary features interviews with Wong and five directors with whom he has worked – Patrick Tam, Ann Hui, Tony Au, Lee Chi-ngai and Shu Kei, tracing the paths on which they have travelled together.
The characters of this film are outsider musicians from Moscow, St. Petersburg and Chelyabinsk, not losers, but people with their own position. In the lives of Anton (Mårble), Stas (DJ 1985) and mark (Mississippi Landscapes) there are performances at the Boiler Room and Present Perfect — and urban weekdays with "Pyaterochka" and canteens, strange parties, jams on the roof panels, escapes to the village. In the gap between them, there is a lot of talk about music, creativity, and what allows them to remain themselves and not look for ways into the mainstream.
