Spare Queens

Directed by Tom Chung-sing

With Stephy Tang Lai-yan, Chrissie Chau Sau-Na, Adam Pak Tin-Nam, Anson Kong and Yoyo Tse Wing-yan

In bowling, there is nothing more daunting than the 7-10 split, which leaves two side pins in a position that is almost impossible to knock down. In this stirring sports film, the infamous split serves as a metaphor for not only a long-standing rivalry between two retired female bowlers, but also rare second chances to correct past mistakes. Produced by the team behind sleeper hit Love Lies (2024), this directorial debut shows us that bowling involves far more than just hitting wooden pins with a ball – it requires precise timing, immense strength, and grace under pressure.
