단관개봉에서 시작했지만 연이은 매진으로 상영관 확대와 공동체 상영으로 이어지며 당시 큰 화제를 모았던 옴니버스영화. 홍콩필름어워즈와 평론가협회상에서 작품상을 수상하며 당시 영화 자체를 넘어 하나의 사회적 현상이 되었다. 근 미래 2025년을 배경으로, 지역문화가 사라지고 자유가 심각하게 억압된 디스토피아가 되어 버린 홍콩을 정치적이고 비판적인 시선으로 연출한 5편의 단편을 통해 우산혁명의 과정에서 홍콩인들이 느꼈을 불안과 좌절, 그리고 희망을 잘 담아냈다.

Anger breeds anger, and hatred breeds hatred. Restaurant owner Mr. Wong stresses about the business when he has to face rent increases every year. Restless and tense, he channels his anger to Ka Yeung, the timid newest employee. Taunted by his customers, his boss and life in general, Ka Yeung is barely keeping his head above the water with his father being an unlicensed hawker. One incident escalates to another like a Greek tragedy and anger spirals out of control, causing irreparable outcome. This is a story about two men who live in an unforgiving city, both trying to find their way out but ended up hurting each other.

Fish, an aspiring painter, leaves the safe haven of home and moves into a dwelling unit inside an industrial building. Carrying a mixed bag of ambivalence and possibilities, her new independence shares the upsides and downsides of a subsistence living in the enclave of artists and musicians, where the strains of life – dissatisfaction with the government and an ever-looming threat of eviction – are tempered by a healthy dose of optimism and humour. The habitat of Fish and company may not be the land of la dolce vita but it’s an oasis of dreams in a desert of reality, however transient and haphazard.
