Peg O' My Heart (Chinese: 贖夢) is a 2024 Hong Kong psychological thriller film directed and co-written by Nick Cheung. Cheung stars alongside Terrance Lau and Fala Chen as a taxi driver who suffers from insomnia due to constant nightmares and seeks help from a psychiatrist (Lau) to free himself from them.
Marking his fourth feature, Nick Cheung continued his noir style from previous films and began advancing the project in January 2022 with the Hong Kong Film Development Fund. Principal photography started in December of the same year in Hong Kong and wrapped up in February 2023. Cheung also performed the film's theme song "I Can Never Fall Asleep", composed by Mark Lui.
The film had its world premiere at the 26th Far East Film Festival on 30 April 2024. In March 2025, the film launched a marketing campaign featuring Nick Cheung opening a Threads account to interact with netizens, shortly before its theatrical release in Hong Kong on 27 March 2025. The campaign received positive feedback from young audiences.
