Synopsis

Hakky Ho (James Yi Lui) holds on to his love of acting and dreams of being a star despite the chaotic, brutal, low-paying, hilarious reality of life as an extra. He falls in love with fellow extra Siu-Fong (Idy Chan), but the star (Kenneth Tsang) wants her for his next extra-marital conquest.
