The Romancing Star

In the bustling lanes of a Hong Kong neighbourhood, a noisy garage serves as the unlikely heart of the story. Ah Fat, a blunt‑spoken mechanic with a talent for colorful language, spends his days elbow‑deep in engines alongside his loyal companions Traffic Light and Ugly. Their camaraderie is forged in the heat of the workshop, where jokes fly as freely as greasy tools and the trio’s unmistakable bond provides a steady rhythm to the clatter of wrenches and pistons.

Above them stands their demanding proprietor Ken, a boss whose frugality is matched only by his occasional flashes of shrewd generosity. While his tight‑fisted ways keep the garage humming, Ken also knows how to read the mood of his workers, stepping in when personal storms threaten to spill over the shop floor. His keen eye for the unspoken tensions among his staff makes him both a strict overseer and an unlikely caretaker.

When Ah Fat’s love life implodes after a fraught breakup, Ken decides a change of scenery might mend a broken heart. He arranges a weekend getaway to the sun‑kissed shores of Penang, where the salty breeze and open horizons promise a brief escape from the grind of city life. The trio’s arrival at the beach introduces them to two elegantly dressed women—Tung Tung and Man Chi—who seem to glide through the sand like silhouettes from a different world.

A lighthearted wager quickly turns the holiday into a playful contest of charm and wit. Ah Fat bets to win Tung Tung’s attention, while Ken, Traffic Light and Ugly set their sights on Man Chi. The competition injects the trip with a mischievous energy, hinting at the inevitable mix of romance, humor, and unforeseen complications that lie just beyond the tide’s edge.
