Sinopsis
La universidad de Windsor ofrece una variada opción de materias para sus estudiantes, justo lo que Sidney Prescott necesita. Es primavera, dos años después de los asesinatos en Woodsboro, California, y el año escolar está llegando a su fin. Sid tiene una compañera de habitación, un novio y es la elegida para encabezar el reparto de la obra que se representa en la universidad este curso. Randy, otro de los supervivientes de los asesinatos de Woodsboro, estudia cine en Windsor. También es feliz, como Sid. Pero el pasado nunca queda atrás. De hecho, vuelve y alguien es asesinado mientras ve la película "Stab" (Puñalada) en el cine del campus, el día del estreno nacional. Stab, basada en la novela superventas escrita por la periodista Gale Weathers, describe los asesinatos de Woodsboro. El libro no sólo se vendió como rosquillas, además ayudó a salir de la prisión a Cotton Weary, el hombre acusado por Sidney de la muerte de su madre.
Después de los terroríficos acontecimientos que tuvieron lugar en la localidad de Woodsboro, Sidney vive alejada del mundo en una casita de las montañas, intentando olvidar el pasado. Se dedica a proporcionar apoyo moral a mujeres con problemas a través del teléfono; pero, un día, alguien la llama para informarla de los asesinatos que se están produciendo durante el rodaje de "Puñaladas 3", película basada en los hechos de los que ella fue protagonista.
Sidney Prescott ha logrado olvidar los asesinatos cometidos en Woodsboro. Diez años después, convertida en una escritora de éxito, vuelve a su pueblo natal con motivo de la gira de promoción de su nuevo libro. Pero su regreso irá acompañado de una nueva ola de crímenes perpetrados por un viejo conocido: Ghostface.

In Paradisum relates two disturbing stories simultaneously. The female narrator tells her personal tale of imprisonment as the wife of the notorious Estonian serial killer, Andreas Hanni. Although her story is bizarre, it touches familiar themes that run throughout modern life: the desire to be loved and the fear of being alone. Pille Hanni's tale unfolds over cinema vérité images of life in several Estonian prisons. At times the images reflect in a literary way the events of the narration, yet they are representations and impressions, rather than traditional documentary style footage of the people involved. This opens the story to a more general interpretation, often with unsettling results. The parallel contents reveal, at two levels of story and social organisation, how the bizarre and inhuman can be tolerable and even addictive in the face of our fears.

An animated film made without the use of a camera using the technique of drawing and painting directly on a film strip, illustrating a grandfather's ballad, the protagonist of which seeks an explanation for the cruel phenomena of the world around him. Rockets thrown to the ground and bombs exploding, a car falling off a cliff, a driver driving a man on the street or a policeman firing a gun at an opponent - images of this type of catastrophic behavior are intertwined with the recurring image of a man running somewhere.
Lau Leung-wah plays the titled character, a Chinese Robin Hood who robs the rich to help the poor.
