This debut feature of journalist-turned-director Don Ng, presents the loniness and limbo of asylum seeking in the UK. Bureaucracy intertwines with the lives of those from different backgrounds, capturing the experience of waiting and displacement.

Two Hong Kong asylum seekers rebuilding their lives in Britain form an unexpected bond, navigating displacement, identity, and the fragile hope of starting again.
Set in contemporary Britain, No Time for Goodbye follows Bosco and Yasmin—two young Hongkongers seeking asylum after political upheaval. As they navigate isolation and systemic uncertainty, their lives intersect and a tentative relationship emerges, exploring exile and belonging.
