[ MCL CINEMA ]
    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.
