Yoong, a woman in her late twenties, has a routine office job. Like many other city dwellers caught up in the rat race, she spends a lot of time on her work. Recently, her relationship with her boyfriend Wei, who lived with her, went on the rocks and she still hasn't got over it completely. On 1 April 2003, she finds out that the Hong Kong rock legend and actor Leslie Cheung has committed suicide. In a nostalgic mood, Yoong goes looking for her old Leslie Cheung CD, the one she listened to at secondary school. James Lee has adapted his own feelings about Cheung's death in a very short time into a concise script, that was turned into a short film made partly with improvisation and modest in its style and acting.
