Director
Молодая студентка, приехавшая в Гонконг из Шанхая, сталкивается с финансовыми трудностями, поэтому начинает работать у собственной тети. Теперь ей приходится вращаться в высшем обществе и соблазнять богатых и влиятельных мужчин. Но однажды она по-настоящему влюбляется в известного плейбоя, чья цель — жениться на девушке из элиты.
One of Hong Kong's most influential filmmakers, Ann Hui, becomes a “star” for the first time in Man Lim-chung's directorial debut. A forerunner of the New Wave, Hui’s tumultuous, forty-year career is an unequivocal testimony to her unyielding dedication to filmmaking, and her expedition into the metamorphic city. This biopic probes into the acclaimed director’s idiosyncratic world, where we witness her rashness and goofiness, as well as her humanistic concerns for the everyday nobodies which make her films so moving.
A seven-part anthology film exploring the history of Hong Kong from the 1940s to present day.

Внезапная смерть отца - болезненный и сильный шок, даже если, как и в случае с туристическим агентом Акацией из Гонконга, семейными узами пренебрегали много лет. Еще больше шокирует девушку тот факт, что у неё есть две сводные сестры. Дочки появились у Ха Леунга от двух разных женщин из других стран. Яркие даосские похороны Ха - это место и время их первой встречи, где спешившая с подготовкой Акация узнаёт, что её отец был не даосом, а буддистом. Первой на похороны прибывает Томбой, ставшая в Тайване профессиональным игроком в бильярд. Следом за ней Черри – экстравагантная влоггерша с материка. Эти двое уже знакомы, из-за чего Акация чувствует себя совершенно лишней в их странном семейном союзе. Шанс наладить контакт у героинь возникнет, когда выяснится, что отец оставил им свой бизнес – небольшой ресторанчик, шефство над которым им предстоит взять в ближайшее время!
