Love Story
A theatre usher looks everywhere for love only to find it in a library book. A cop chases a killer only to wind up at the end of her own gunKAnd a pulp-romance writer confuses fact with fiction and learns that true love comes only after a great loss. The stories that flows from the desire to find true love leads us various stories that come across time, space and consequences, demonstrating with warmth and honestly that the lines between fact and fiction often are blurred. Whether cynic or romantic, Love Story will touch everyone with its insightful charm.

Rain Dogs
The story chronicles a young man's search for his brother in the city and how he comes to term with the brothers eventual accidental death and as hard as he attempts to hold on to his family, whose only member left is the mother, he fails, and runs away to a fishing village to be with his uncle, an act that reminisces his dead brother's break from the family before. From the quiet encounters in his peaceful home village, to the chaos and excitement of urban centers, to him finally seeking exile in a border town north of Malaysia, this is a film about the music of chance and love and loss and sadness of those living on the fringe.

My Mother is a Belly Dancer
See LaiX in other words, sloppy housewives suffering from loss of youthfulness, beauty, and passion. When do these typical Hong Kong housewives, living in public housing estates, stop being beautiful? When do they stop wearing make-up? When do they start specializing in shopping for groceries every afternoon at the hustling and bustling vegetable market, only to get their eggs or apples a few bucks cheaper? Can belly dancing be their savior or will it bring about their downfall as husbands and community revolt against a dance that is not decent?
