Through a series of intricately composed long takes, Epilepsy exposes the robotic state of students today through the eyes of a young boy. For him, going to school simply means a continuous dose of discipline and punishment from all sides. His education simply means taking what he's given, and any dissent or deviation from the norm is discouraged with force. Even when a girl begins to inspire change in him, will he be able to face a strange, new world that is so different from the one he knows?

At the first glance, a crayon drawing appears the very portrait of a happy family, but a closer examination reveals that something is amiss. Lam Tsi-hei is the eldest son of a family that stares darts and hurls verbal abuse at each other, complete with sibling antagonism and resentment bred by thoughts and feelings left unexpressed. Directly a film on a subject fiercely personal and close to his heart, Tsi-hei digs up a crayon drawing from his boyhood. While cherishing the memories of an affectionate bond that skips a generation, he realises he must go hat-in-hand and repair his relationship with his estranged family.

Sunshine has been fighting on the side of justice since she was little. Cherry is a mute girl who eschews spoken words for messages scribbled on paper planes to communicate her thoughts. A war has been declared on an odiously fawning principal, an overbearing PTA chairman (and overprotective father of Cherry), a team of opportunistic teachers and a class of students innocent no more! Teaming up with a tech-savvy mentor (the school janitor), a range of DIY gadgets and the occasional indulgence of mischievous acts, Cherry conducts a series of covert operations and comes to Cherry’s rescue at a choral speaking competition.
