Description
Six dark-humoured, interwoven tales about handling the harshness of reality
One morning, a woman is driving to work. She is listening to the radio playing “On a Clear Day”, while thinking that life could not get any worse when a body suddenly lands in front of her car. She is shaken. However, her initial shock soon gives way to selfish anger as she begins to blame the “jumper” for disrupting her schedule. And so the story begins, 24 hours before death. On this “Black Monday”, a group of people struggle with their jobs. They work to live, but should work really stop them from living? Who will survive in the end?
[Taiwanese writer and cultural critic] Lung Ying-tai said Hong Kong people are highly efficient but our approach to work destroys our personality. I sometimes think we even lose our humanity” – Candace Chong, playwright
