The Umbrella
It rained non-stop when Hong Kong was rocked by the tumultuous events in October 2014. At the university hall, young souls are assigned to different rooms amid the sounds of rain, studies and heavy discussions. They may have dissenting opinions, but will learn to accept and be sympathetic to each other.
