“Expats,” a new TV series starring Academy Award-winning Australian actress Nicole Kidman, will premiere soon. Its official trailer has been released, featuring a number of Hong Kong street scenes, including crowds holding umbrellas, a gathering of foreign domestic helpers, and Mido Cafe tea restaurant at Yau Ma Tei.
The trailer opens with Nicole alone at the beach, saying, “I just sometimes want to be alone, where I’m not somebody’s wife, not somebody’s mother, where I’m not defined by tragedy.” A scene of her taking a bath in a tenement building and a close-up of Hong Kong artiste Bonde Sham Lok Yi holding an umbrella in the rain also appeared in the trailer.
