“Nothing’s going to happen to you.”

With its startling opening scene (foreshadowing some grim events), Ho Yuhang’s AT THE END OF DAYBREAK throws you into a murky sense of uncertainty.  Tuck (Chui Tien You) is a 23-year-old who doesn’t do much more than occasionally help his single, alcoholic mother (Wai Ying Hong) tend her small shop.   Tuck’s relationship with a 15-year-old brings trouble into their house, and Tuck’s mother does everything she can to defend him.  But just as they begin to see a resolution, things turn far worse.

Moody and gorgeously shot, AT THE END OF DAYBREAK takes its lurid melodramatic substance and wraps it in class issues and pitch-perfect examples of youthful ignorance and disregard. And Wai Ying Hong’s performance is one of understated excellence; Tuck’s mother is both pitiable and heartbreaking as she works to protect her son from legitimate and unreasonable attacks.
