Day and Night
Director
"Day and Night" is an omnibus release by William Kwok-Wai of 3 short films consisting of 3 Malaysian filmmakers Ho Yuhang, Charlotte Lim and Yeo Joon Han, reflecting their personal feelings about the health of Malaysian society. "TRESPASSED" by Ho Yuhang is about a girl who misses her father slowly becomes entirely possessed by grief. It seems as if an outside force has taken control of her emotions. "BITE" by Charlotte Lim is about a school girl, meticulously observed by a patient camera in a small, yet sensitive story. Perhaps a lesson in life, for it isn't as innocent as it seems and "BEDSIDE MANNERS" by Yeo Joon Han is about a man who lies in bed, paralyzed. He can still see and hear and has to suffer the stupid talk of a bunch of idiots. Satire on all sorts of things in Malaysia.

Second Assistant Director
Shanghai, 1942. La ciudad está ocupada por los japoneses. La señora Mak, una mujer rica y sofisticada, recuerda cómo empezó todo en 1938. Su verdadero nombre no es Mak, sino Wong Chia Chi. Poco antes de estallar la II Guerra Mundial (1939-1945), su padre huyó a Inglaterra y la dejó en China. Era estudiante universitaria y conoció a Kuang Yu Min, que acababa de fundar una compañía de teatro para fomentar el patriotismo. Wong Chia Chi se convirtió en la primera actriz de la compañía. Kuang, por su parte, convenció a un grupo de estudiantes para que asesinaran al señor Yee, un importante colaborador de los japoneses. Wong Chia Chi colaboró en el plan haciéndose pasar por la señora Mak: su cometido era hacerse amiga de la mujer de Yee para ganarse la confianza de éste y seducirlo. Todo iba sucediendo según lo previsto, hasta que se produjo un acontecimiento inesperado.
