    • Synopsis
    • The old saying is that a child is a gift from heaven but for Carmen (Chan), a child is a curse and a creature only out for revenge. For years, Carmen has had no intention of having children and has enjoyed her quiet married life with her husband Oscar (Chu). But when she accidentally becomes pregnant, her job transfer to the US is indefinitely postponed and she has to give up her beloved cigarettes and alcohol. To top it all, her mother-in-law Margaret (Yu) moves in under the pretence of looking after her, sending Carmen’s life haywire along with her hormones.
