For years, he has neglected his family in Hong Kong to tend his business in Mainland China. Back in Hong Kong after his father's death, the man discovers his son's childhood diary. As he reads about his son's life with his father, the man realizes that he has let his son's childhood pass by him. Filled with regret for both his father and his son, the man decides to make an effort to mend his relationship with his son. However, is it already too little, too late?

Yee-tou cannot recover from her sorrow at her fiancé’s death. Her admirer Heem with a quiet and introverted character is kind enough to take care of her. Deeply depressed, she resists taking her medication and suffers from frequent hallucinations. Eventually she kills herself in front of Heem, who is consequently infected by her depression, and keeps a tank of goldfishes at home. From a glass fish tank to our world, are we living in a true world or is life an illusion? “The Glass City” is a love story with sad sentiments mentioning the limitations in life as if goldfishes living in a glass tank.

Hong Kong, twenty years later. The city is a perpetual construction site where the wheel of development must turn to build more shopping malls and higher residential towers. Enter members of the all-girl pop sensation, Heartbeat 48, an ever-expanding army of eco-warriors who are tasked with checking the heartbeats of centuries-old trees and villages and losing no time to pronounce their deaths. When Doy, an internet nerd and one of the few surviving village natives, is transported from the past into the fanciful realm of cute tutu outfits dresses, toy stethoscopes and hugging farewell routines – all staged for the benefit of the camera – he gets trapped a nightmare he can’t wake up from.

Wong Kwong, a ninety-year-old man called Ice-Cream Uncle, keeps pulling a trolley with a load of dozens of kilometers and walks a long way to sell his ice creams everyday. He never minds working hard or thinks about retiring. All of his life shows the traditional spirit of Hong Kong, which has set an example for the young people. Although he has never been able afford to buy a Rolls-Royce in his entire life, this laborer has gained the respect of many teachers and students, as well as the neighborhood.

The introverted and well-behaved Kai Leung has moved to a new house with his superstitious mother. Now enrolled in a new school and with the guidance of his class monitor, he develops a curiosity for heaven, in hope of reuniting with his deceased father one day. However, his teachers and students at school, who claim to be pious Christians, decidedly gang up on him for being a heated and an atheist. In retaliation, Kai Leung summons in his mind, the powers from traditional Chinese deities and Gods as forces to counter against unjust ostracisation.
