Near the end of the Pacific War, a Kamikaze Zero Fighter broke through the U.S. naval fleet's strong firepower like a nightmare......the pilot of this fighter was Kyuzo Miyabe, a genius with a perfect flying technique but was afraid to die and a former flight instructor whose colleagues called the navy's "top coward".

60 years later, Kentaro Saeki at his grandmother's funeral learns that his biological grandfather is someone else -- Miyabe who died at sea. Thus, Kentaro and his sister Keiko visit Miyabe's war buddies one after another and gradually get an understanding of his grandfather and his experience. Some still criticize him as a "coward" but those who actually went through life and death with him praised how he urged his comrades to cherish life and safeguard their families. When death became a certain choice, Miyabe's love, loyalty and promise to his wife Matsuno was continued to a way that would be difficult for others to imagine...

So Po-Wing considers himself being underappreciated. He works at “Get Rich Now Consultants Limited” founded by “The Godfather of MLM” Fat Ma. Wing’s colleagues often steal his ideas, bringing his career to a dead end.

Wing also has a mother who treats him as cash cow, and an injurious friend Wah-Dee who often embroils him into trouble. Despite all the negativity, Wing has a gentle and virtuous childhood sweetheart, Bobo Chung, who always comforts him when he is dejected. He always vents his grievance to her, as he believes Bobo will never leave him for the world.

Wing receives a weird text message one day, saying: Ever thought of deleting those you dislike? Forward this message to a friend. Wish your wish comes true!

On Wing’s birthday, Fat Ma fires him with some ridiculous reasons. Wing is aggrieved and accidentally kills Fat Ma in the quarrel, and disposes his body in the boot of Fat Ma’s car. But when Wing returns to the office, he is shocked to find his colleagues addressing an imposing foreigner Boss Ma. Wing goes back and sneaks to take a look in the boot, only to find it empty!

As the story continues, how would Wing use this incredible superpower to change his life? Will Wing live a perfect life happily ever after?

The story has only just begun...

[ HONG KONG INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ]
The sleepy fishing town of Aberdeen was where the British landed to take Hong Kong, hence its Chinese name: “Little Hong Kong”. Likewise, the Cheng family embodies a microcosm of our city, with its contradictions between modernity and traditions, family and individuality. Aberdeen is at once intimate and sprawling, revealing uniquely troubled characters, from the eldest, the Taoist priest patriarch Dong, to the youngest, the bullied elementary schooler Chloe. Pang mixes his signature humor with the fantastical, incorporating dreams, the supernatural and other surprises to distinguish this star-studded film from ordinary family drama.
