Writer and director Pang Ho-cheung presents seven short sketches of small but emotionally telling moments in this omnibus collection. Isabel Chan and Eason Chan play a young couple who are living together but, to his despair, she doesn't want to sleep with him until they get married. When she consents to have sex to celebrate Christmas, he begins looking for holidays that will put her into a festive mood. An actor (Chapman To) visiting Hong Kong on business is struck with loneliness, and hires a prostitute (Zhang Zheng) to spend some time with him. Kei (Stephy Tang) and Ah Wai (Gillian Chung) are two close friends from school who haven't seen each other for nearly ten years, and discover they no longer have much in common beyond a lingering infatuation with the same aging pop star. A lovelorn guy (Kenny Kwan) tries to impress the girl he loves in high school (Angela Baby) by naming a heavenly body after her, which has unexpected consequences. A hired killer (Shawn Yue) who takes a casual but businesslike approach to his work decides to relax and smoke a joint with his target (Conroy Chan) before pulling the trigger. A college professor (Chan Fai Hung) whose relationship with his wife (Kristal Tin) is faltering turns to one of his students (January Lamb) for advice on putting his marriage back on track. And a would-be ladies' man (Edison Chen) reveals he has a very peculiar way of impressing women. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The line between reality and fantasy begins to blur as disease and disloyalty makes its way into one unfortunate household in this offbeat horror story from Hong Kong. Wai (Stephy Tang) is only in her mid-Twenties, but she's been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and her doctors say she has a slim chance of surviving. Ailing Wai shares a tiny flat with her younger sister Ping (Zeng Qi Qi) and her boyfriend Ming (Shawn Yue), who is endlessly loyal and does all he can to care for her in her time of need. Ming spends so much time looking after Wai that his boss fires him, but he soon gets a new job working for Fong (Yoka Yue), who he's known since they were in school together. Fong has long been infatuated with Ming, and as Wai's illness has put a damper on their sex life, he finds himself tempted into infidelity with his alluring new boss. Meanwhile, as Wai struggles with the toll cancer takes on her body and develops a curiosity about natural medicine, Ping spends more and more time escaping into the world of horror comics, and notices that a character drawn by her favorite artist is developing a certain resemblance to Ming. Chung Oi (aka In Love With The Dead) was the first solo directorial credit from Danny Pang, who had previously directed a handful of films in collaboration with his brother Oxide Pang. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A spoiled rich boy and his two unruly friends are enrolled in Police Cadet training school to hilarious results in this Hong Kong comedy starring popular actor/singer Ronald Cheng. Lung (Cheng) is a rowdy brat with no sense of respect or responsibility, and his father has grown increasingly concerned about the rabble-rousing youngster's future. In a desperate bid to teach his son, and the boy's equally obnoxious friends, a lesson in adulthood, Lung's father enrolls all three in the cadet training program that's sure to whip them into shape. Despite his best intentions, Lung's father finds that his efforts are in vain as the three slackers vow to get into as much mischief as needed to get expelled from the prison-like school. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
