The movie
A snivelling former badminton champion follows a shuttlecock-shaped meteorite that brings her to an abandoned sports hall, where she makes the acquaintance of reformed criminals. In an attempt to regain their pride, this team of lame ducks starts training for the pan-Asian badminton tournament. The brilliant director of Gallants (NIFFF 2010) returns with a zany comedy that takes us back to the golden age of Hong Kong cinema.
