Election (Hak se wui)

synopsis


Wo Sing is the oldest triad in Hong Kong. Under the authority of its current boss, Lok, it has become the most respected criminal organization in the city. Jimmy, a cultivated gangster, tries to rehabilitate himself by building a legal industrial empire. The profitability of his affairs makes him an ideal candidate for the next election as its new head. But his fame also draws the attention of the Chinese authorities, as he is the perfect intermediary to negotiate peaceful coexistence between the central government and the triads. The Peking regime asks him to open up access to the market of the People's Republic by agreeing to lead Wo Sing for two years. All the irony of the situation in no way escapes Jimmy: so now here he is, compelled to become the boss of a triad precisely so as to escape at last their evil influence... As Jimmy undertakes a campaign which promises to be violent, he realizes that his future - just like that of Wo Sing - lies in the hands of a power far more dangerous yet.
