Lau Ching-wan plays a lawyer who dies in a car accident, leaving his daughter, Melody, blind and making his wife a widow. To cheer up her mom, Melody writes a book in which the family died but dad survived. And in her book, to cheer himself up, dad decides to write a book in which he died in the accident but his wife and daughter survived....and so it goes in an endlessly recursive loop as the dead are resurrected in fiction, which bleeds into reality, which turns into tragedy which sends the story spinning off into greater and grander realms of fantasy as mourning children and their parents attempt to have one more minute, just another thirty seconds, with their departed loved ones.
