Four stories show how fiction and fact, humour and drama, personal and political are complementary facets of the contradictory realities that constitute Hong Kong today.

Four stories together show how fiction and fact, humour and drama, the personal and political are complementary facets of the same fascinating realities that constitute Hong Kong. Leung Ming-kai and Kate Reilly's structural gambit delights and gently provokes, as their film plumbs the contradictions that underlie and activate Hong Kong's predicament today.
