【Section 2: Local Directors and Their Inspirational Classics】I Want To Be A Plastic Chair

2022 / 80‘ / Macao / In Cantonese with Chinese and English Subtitles / Color

People would say how much they wished to reincarnate as a human in their next life. But for Ming, he merely wanted to become a red plastic chair.

Arriving home after a long working day, he only finds himself in another hellish nightmare, for he shares a room with his younger sister, who is always getting laid with her boyfriend! Ming has nowhere to hide and the unspeakable secret about his family would disturb his sleep oftentimes. As a way out, he decided to find a new home and came across Jenny, a real estate agent. The two of them seemed at odds with one another, but developed a friendly understanding and became rather compatible over time. In the eyes of Ming, when will life come to an end? Every day is just a ceaseless whirlpool of misfortune!
