[ 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...

[ BROADWAY CINEMATHEQUE 30 ]
    A botched takeaway order sparks an unlikely battle of wills in WE ARE BORN GOOD, the assured debut of Hong Kong filmmaker Yeung Leung Chuen. Aspiring actress Zoey is already at breaking point, weighed down by debt, disappointment and a city that seems determined to test her patience. When a neighborhood restaurant refuses to remake her incorrect order at closing time, a petty grievance quickly escalates. As their confrontation spirals into chaos, hostility slowly gives way to an unexpected connection. Inspired by viral footage of trivia disputes erupting into violence, the film asks what drives ordinary people to the brink -- and whether kindness can still prevail.

[ CINEMA CITY ]
    A restaurant mishap led to a feud between Wing-kat and Zoey. Both, whose lives were already challenging, engaged in a cycle of revenge that escalated further. However, they did not anticipate that the real harm would come from those closest to them. Initially adversaries, Wing-kat and Zoey ultimately became the only companions who truly understood each other.

[ THE 8TH FIRST FEATURE FILM INITIATIVE ]

During her time at the hospital, Shan is tasked by the crew to collect a big bowl from the prop-studio. At her father's request, they discreetly leave the hospital together, embarking on an unexpected journey from the studio to Macau, and subsequently to Okinawa, allowing Kueng to address his unfulfilled wishes.
