Where the Wind Blows tells the story of the ‘Four Great Sergeants’, the notoriously corrupt police officers who controlled organised crime in Hong Kong during the 1960s and 70s.
Of the four men, the film focuses on Lui Lok (Aaron Kwok) and Nam Kong (Tony Leung), whose very different paths to power are depicted in parallel narrative threads before they become partners in crime and ultimately rivals.
Director: Philip Yung
Cast: Aaron Kwok, Tony Leung, Du Juan
