Mohsin has hopes and dreams to pursue like any local Hong Kong youngster but is held back by a lack of chance and confidence. His father belongs to an older generation of immigrants still holding onto familiar, touchstone Indian traditions and ways. When a case of mistaken identity lands Shahid into their home, his uninhibited ability to express with his voice and body reinvigorates Mohsin’s passion for singing. Following a debut performance that ends in boos and jeers, and an imposter duly debunked, only a page out of Shakespeare and a Bollywood-sque song-and-dance sequence (what else?) can restore confidence and knock down the fence. Will Mohsin again take to the stage, wow with his style and make his father proud?

Sze-man is facing a dilemma when she participates in an inter-school debate. On the negative side, she is working on the motto “Hong Kong Government should allow Mainlanders to settle down in Hong Kong”. During the course of preparation, however, she is constantly challenging her own position. Her “secret” as a cross-boundary student living in Shenzhen is carefully kept away from her classmates for fear that she will be discriminated against. With more and more drifters crossing the Hong Kong - China border, we are actually facing a changing time with a fast-developing and unique relationship with the Mainlanders, as well as ourselves.

On winter solstice day, a tram arrives at the terminus, depositing the last passenger in an old neighbourhood. Roaming eerily empty streets among surroundings at once familiar and strange, the old woman has her mind firmly set on one task, prompting her panic-stricken son to abandon his work and speed to her side. Somewhere, sometime else, a young woman is frantically searching for her little boy. In a city that prides itself on overnight transformations and clearing out the old to make way for the new, the mother takes her son on a reverie where the past and the present, memories and realisations are immutably and inexorably mixed.

A man is forced to face the childhood traumas that still haunts him in this atmospheric gothic drama. Fung returns to his rural home to attend his mother's funeral. In line with local customs, Fung has to carry his mother's corpse back to the scene of her death, deep inside a forest where he spent his childhood. During his journey, memories of his broken relationship with his single mother and his childhood encounter with violent wolves that was rumored to be inhibiting the forest all resurface in Fung's mind.

He meets her on a journey with no destination. She talks to him in the station; they have fun and stay together in Tokyo, until finally he leaves. But when he thinks back over those days when they were still together, he cannot understand anything she said.
