A dazzling exercise in style and an excursion into existential philosophy, HOLD YOU TIGHT stars Chingmy Yau in a dual role, her last before permanently retiring from film. In it, she plays two women bound for the same plane, one of whom makes the flight while the other does not. In a cruel twist of fate, the plane crashes, killing everyone on board, and leaving the friends and family of the two women to talk about what was and what could have been.
