About Switch-Over
A boy is run over by a bus when trying to get his sister a rosette for her concert, he becomes paralyzed. He does not know he is paralyzed, but instead drifts into a subconscious realm where he meets an old man (a cartoon eric tsang), occasionally he enters the real world, which he believes to be a dream, where he mistakes his sister's daughter for his sister, and soon realises he is paralyzed.
Directed by Chuo-Chi Leung, Switch-Over leans on a strong ensemble — Jacqueline Law Wai-Guen, Ellen Chan Nga-Lun, Chin Ka-Lok — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1994.
