[ THE 30TH BUCHEON FANTASTIC FILM FESTIVAL ]
In the early 1990s, this city of desire, once "paved with gold," had fallen into a state of broken order and rampant crime. Man Zi-Keung, a worker, is determined to rewrite his fate. After meeting flight attendant Lok Ka-Yuen, the two join forces to commit a heist, seizing a huge sum of money. This success drives Man Zi-Keung to ever greater extremes, pushing him and wealthy businessman Chan Fai-Yin deeper into a vortex of escalating confrontation. Meanwhile, mainland police officer Qi Honggang and Hong Kong police officer Kwan So-San persist in investigating Man Zi-Keung. With the two police forces joining hands, the clash between good and evil is on the verge of eruption. In Hong Kong's East Forest Park, scavenger Lan Pui Ching discovers a hanging corpse that triggers memories of a tragic mistake thirteen years earlier. Once a spirit medium, she manipulated a young girl into suicide for money, leaving her haunted by guilt and visions of restless souls.
Now seeking redemption, Lan collects strange objects believed to carry the spirits of those who died unnatural deaths. When police officer Huang Ming investigates a series of suspicious "accidents," he repeatedly encounters her at the scenes. Through her connection with the dead, Lan reveals that these deaths are actually murders carefully disguised as mishaps.
Together they must confront a terrifying supernatural truth before they become the killer's next victims.

[ 25TH NEW YORK ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL ]
Mrs. Yeung has spent years holding a Hong Kong household together, managing a checked-out husband, a demanding teenage son, and the thousand thankless tasks that keep a family running. Then she secretly signs up for pole dancing, and something dangerous happens: she starts having fun. What looks like a midlife lark turns shockingly physical, closer to martial arts than play, demanding strength and nerve she didn't know she had. As the lessons reawaken a self she had quietly shelved, the accommodating wife-and-mother act becomes harder to keep up. Joey Wu's first feature turns domestic frustration into bright, nimble comedy, handing Catherine Chau a gloriously physical role as a woman who decides that disappearing politely is no longer on the schedule. Veteran Elaine Jin lends major support.
[ 28TH SHANGHAI INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ]
Yuen is a stereotypical housewife, her days dulled by endless domestic routines. By chance, she stumbles into the dazzling world of pole dancing, where she embarks on a secret journey - one she keeps hidden from her conservative husband, Lam, and her son, Heng. As colour slowly returns to her life, she forms an unexpected friendship with her much young classmate. Meanwhile, Fung-mei, the 70-year-old grandmother with a heart of a young lady, falls prey to a scam while searching for love on dating app. Forced to move into Yuen's home, her arrival stirs up even more chaos to the already strained family.
[ 7TH FIRST FEATURE FILM INITIATIVE HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION GROUP ]
Eagerly wanting to have a last bloom of her youth, Mama Yeung conceals her stubborn husband and rebellious son, and steps into the new splendid world of pole dance. Yet, this secret has been accidentally revealed, putting her into a dilemma between fulfilling her family's needs and pursuing her dream...
