It's the year 2046, and Hong Kong has become a prosperous, technologically advanced city, where everyone dresses in white and memories can be wiped simply by popping a pill. Ah Kum (Sandra Ng), the feisty woman that we saw in Golden Chicken, is now over 80 years old, and has left her prostituting days far behind. She chances upon a young man (Chapman To) attempting to erase his memory die to a bad breakup, and starts telling him her life story to stop him from doing something so foolish. The story then flashes back to two periods in Ah Kum's life, the first is set in 2003, where Ah Kum has to deal with a man (Ronald Cheng) who has been obsessed with body hair since his wife left him, and also befriend a doctor (Leon Lai) whose life has been affected by the outbreak of the SARS epidemic. The other period is that of the 1980s, where Ah Kum recounts the bittersweet romance between herself and her cousin, Sunny (Jacky Cheung), a man who seems obsessed with making money above all else.
