Stand-up comedian Dayo Wong wrote, directed, and stars in this farce as a kung fu master whose lifework is knocked out cold when he is beaten by a woman on the street. In the tradition of Stephen Chow and Gallants (NYAFF 2010), this screwball comedy pulls no punches in a non-stop cavalcade of wacky hijinks. To find himself, the protagonist suffers grueling yet hilarious training while riding on the rocky road of true love. A cast of oddballs join forces to deliver sincere messages of being honest to one’s self as well as others and fighting against all odds to win over your soulmate.
