Glamorous Youth Movie


CHAN Kin-hong (Nelson YUNG) has an identical name with the notorious headlined man in Hong Kong, but the life of this passive and aimless schoolboy is far too normal. His father (Tai Pao) is a fan of martial arts fictions, and his mother (Letty LO) only loves Korean soap opera. He has already lost his fantasy on family and relationship. The literature class of the melancholic Mr. ZANG is perhaps his only sweet in life.
Raised in a single family, Kaka (Louise WONG) is used to the hysteria of her depressed mother. An injured cabbage patch doll might break their dead silence in the house. The two good friends of CHAN Kin-hong are facing their own problem: Dai-hong (KWOK Hiu-fai) is having a hard time in sex life; Spiderman (Cameron LAU) values dignity more than anything else. Spiderman strives hard and climbs high, but after all, he is not the American hero, but a tiny spider struggling on the skyscrapers in Hong Kong.
The only friend that Mr. ZANG (Joey LEUNG) has in school is the Principal (PAI Piao), their friendship fades away as Mr. ZANG dies. And life goes on, Mainland China has become a paradise for CHAN Kin-hong. Who knows an endless path leads to paradise or hell?
