A hostage situation occurred at a TV station. The kidnapper K was not after money, he just wanted to terminate the monthly subscription to the TV station.

Two girls fantasize about making a declaration to the world. Youth is overrated. Depression, cynicism, rebellion. Poetic, and beautiful. How caricatured. Like how everything sounds better in French, even if it’s merely Google Translated. So we are here, to destroy the camouflage. Back to our reckless but satisfied souls and bodies. Ephwaipi, a homophone of ‘FYP’ (Final Year Project) is the debut short of Kitty Yeung and Candice Ng. The film, which also acted as their graduate thesis film, is the manifesto of two teenage girls about gender, romance and labour exploitation. Together, they seek to declare freedom from their teachers, lovers, bosses, and the most notorious villain of all — social norms.

The film is based on a real incident that happened in Hong Kong. Like any other regular people, Dak made 3 months of effort trying to have his “Know TV” account terminated: calling Service Hotline, faxing and mailing forms everyday, invoices nonetheless are still sent to Dak. Sometimes it takes a silly act to start a revolution.
