C.T. Yu aka Spring (Teresa Mo) and her daughter, Karena (Karena Ng), work respectively as a Designer and Steward Manager in a Multinational Enterprise of Mens Underwear founded by their brother and uncle, Hugo (Raymond Wong). For the sake of winning back his ex-girlfriend, Muse (Hai Qing), who is now a World Class Fashion Designer; Hugo pretends his business to be at a brink of bankruptcy and therefore hoping to recruit her for help. Muse reckons and seizes the opportunity to take revenge on Hugo for his past insulting remarks of women as inferiors. As a prerequisite, she demands him to establish a New Fashion Line name under Mini Men and achieve positive results before she will accept the offer. With no room for mistakes, Hugo employs Top Model Jojo (Lynn Xiong) for a healthy competition against Spring; having each side designing a Collection Set in which the winner will take charge of the New Fashion Line. Seeing Spring under deep stress, her desperate daughter fatefully runs into Stand-in Actor, Fei (Ronald Cheng), who offers his job experience as an inspiration to her mother. However, what worries Spring more seems to be the blooming relationship between Karena and Fei. In order to turn the table around, Fei calls upon his dear cousin, Owen (Raymond Lam), who happens to be an ex-Fashion Photographer for reinforcement. Fact is that little does anyone know Owen and Jojo had crossed path before. This journey composed of multiple rivalry battles will surely take a hilarious route towards a meaningful outcome.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
