Free as a Bird...

A stylish romantic caper about a charismatic pickpocket leader drawn into an uncertain connection with a mysterious woman, balancing playful heist energy with emotional vulnerability.
Kei is the experienced leader of a team of pickpockets — also known as "Sparrows" in HK slang. He enjoys a carefree lifestyle taking photos. One day a dashing beauty, Chun-Lei, suddenly appears in Kei's viewfinder. Kei is mesmerized. But behind Chun-Lei's attractive facade lies a mysterious past and a mission to set herself free.
