    • Magical moments happen both in and out of the movie theatre. Ho is a dedicated film buff who works in an independent movie theatre. He is especially passionate about the classics which hardly attract any audience. One evening he notices an audience bursting into tears during the closing credits of the fourth film she has watched in a row. Ho checks on her but she remains reserved. Upon seeing all the old film copies in the theatre, she realises Ho’s passion for film and opens up to him.
