[ BROADWAY CIRCUIT ]
    Last generation of assassins moved to HK in 50/60’s and posted as "killer-for-hire" trio to fix all sort of problems for their clients. Decades passed, they now become redundant themselves at work and home. An accidental mission calls upon them turns out to be an assisted suicide. The trio suddenly finds new 'life'...as "Guardian Angels of the Elders". Just when they are finding meanings to this new role, an order from a teenager turns their new practice upside down again...this might as well be their very last job.

[ HONG KONG INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ]
    Once famous for his quick blade, a retired assassin can no longer earn a living with his cut-throat skills. Summoned again, he partners with his chauffeur to carry out special missions – fullfilling the wishes of old people looking to kill themselves. When commissioned by a young girl who has been deserted by her parents and lover, the "Elderly's Angel" squad finds an arresting way to complete its task. New director Ricky Ko slashes open the loneliness and depression of old age, in a black comedy that's no laughing matter.

[ SCREEN DAILY ]
    Fruit Chan's horror anthology tells three stories about how Hong Kong's soaring property prices convince some people that it's not so bad living under the same roof with the dead.

    The three stories follow a real estate broker, who gets more than he bargained for when he sells a haunted apartment; four sisters who have dubious motives in mind when they gather round their dying mother's sick bed; and a landlord, whose scheme to make more money is sabotaged when a deceased tenant refuses to leave his property.

    A-cheng is a rogue who relies on debt collection for living. He lives in the attic of a small barber shop managed by his elder brother. It's time for a 37-year-old adult to live on his own, but he always ignores all contempt from others. One day, he goes to the hospital to collect a debt from a creditor in coma, there he meets Hao-ting, daughter of the creditor. She is forced to sign a debt transferring contract without any complaint. Her silhouette of silently taking care of her father deeply attracts A-cheng, a guy who never had responsibility before. A-cheng clumsily draws a "graffiti contract" to offset Hao-ting's debts with walks and dinners as dating, even tries his best to manage the funeral for her father. Hao-ting feels touched by his behaviors and accepts his pursuit. Unexpectedly, a barter gambling takes away their future ruthlessly. A-cheng is not only imprisoned, also diagnosed with hemangioma. He has not much time left...At that moment, A-cheng finally understands that when a man falls in love, he can give up everything without hesitation.
