The COVID-19 pandemic offered white-collar workers everywhere the chance to work from home. At first, it seemed like a luxury to be able to work outside the shackles of the office, but people quickly realized that it could also drive them insane.
For Coba, work-from-home has led to a daily cage match with his family. When he inadvertently learns that his mother's homemade chili sauce is a hit with his co-workers, he convinces his family to turn the chili sauce into an online business in order to divert their attention away from conflicts. However, Coba didn’t expect that the sauce would become a timely internet sensation, thanks to families eating at home more often during the pandemic.
From deciding which type of bottle to use for the chili sauce, long-hidden family conflicts are on the verge of erupting again. Soon enough, the family's daily tug-of-wars become even spicier than chili sauce......

A 28-year-old IT geek, Hau, is a mediocre but warm-hearted introvert, and so far, he has only been in love once. Surprisingly, this year he ends up getting romantically involved with five different women. The one thing they have in common is that they all live in far flung parts of Hong Kong. After taking 5 intensive relationship courses within these 365 days, will he find "the-one"?
[ HONG KONG ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL ]
Indie writer-director Amos Why (Dot 2 Dot, Napping Kid) literally traveled to the far-flung corners of Hong Kong for this sweet coming-of-age romantic comedy. After years as a prominent sidekick, Kaki Shum finally gets his first crack at playing the lead. A computer- savvy Casanova to boot, with his turn as a 28-year-old I.T. geek who suddenly finds himself the object of affection for five attractive women within the same year. The quintet share virtually no similar traits except one quirky thing: they all live in remote corners of Hong Kong. Seeing our heartthrob's struggles in getting there's half the fun, though: all that travelling allows Why to offer his audience a chance to see and appreciate parts of the city they rarely get to experience.
