Synopsis:
This film is one of the "Focus: First Cuts" projects, initiated by renowned movie star Andy Lau's Focus Films Limited. It is a story about the lives of several "See Lai" - in other words, sloppy housewives suffering from loss of youthfulness, beauty, and passion. When do these typical Hong Kong housewives, living in public housing estates, stop being beautiful? When do they stop wearing make-up? When do they start specializing in shopping for groceries every afternoon at the hustling and bustling vegetable market, only to get their eggs or apples a few bucks cheaper? Can belly Dancing be their saviour or will it bring about their downfall as husbands and community revolt against a dance that is not "decent".
