Chau Po Kit

Life after university may be just dandy for people with passion and drive, but what happens if you are aimless, dreamless and hopeless? With no goals or ambition in life, a fresh graduate believes that she is an oddball destined for mediocrity. Her perfect solution is to be a slacker and to work part-time at a 12-dollar store. Unfortunately, the mundane life and wacky colleagues just add to her melancholy. The array of eccentric characters at the 12-dollar store speaks volumes on how the new generation perceives their less-than-rosy future.

It all begins with an affair staged at a traditional Chinese funeral offerings store with the leading actress being the boss’s wife. Witnessed by an unidentified pair of eyes, the affair is followed by the sudden death of the boss caused by a bowl of soybean pudding. He is desperate to know the truth about the affair in his afterlife. Eventually he is brought back to the piece of memory that entangles among two boys and a girl, on fighting for their pride through a slingshot battle against the boss of students.
