Hong Kong students face enormous pressure when it comes to taking public exams. But is failing the university entrance exam—namely the HKDSE—truly the end of the world? The popular Hong Kong YouTube channel "Trial & Error" spent eight months documenting the journey of Hong, an exam candidate who hasn't given much thought to his future. With the team's support, can Hong make up for lost time and secure a spot at university?

An exclusive online Q&A with the filmmakers will follow the UK premiere of the film on 5 October.
