The movie “One Night at School” describes three groups of totally irrelevant people who accidentally encounter in an abandon school one night. One group includes five beauties who go there for a livestreaming programme. They are forced to make a low cost but highly attractive programme and the abandon school seems a perfect setting. Several people from a criminal gang are also in the school at that night to carry out some revenge action. After searching in the city, the gang decides that the abandon school is suitable. The last group comprises two guys who have stolen the dead body of a Singaporean rich man. The body is stored in the abandoned school where the two guys go to check every day. They plan to extort a large sum of virtual currency from the rich man’s family. By taking care of their own matter at the same place at the same time, the three groups unintentionally intertwine and the adventure unfolds.

What dreams and passions do we want to live out, and when did they slip away in the ordinariness of life? The immense popularity of mini4WD reaches across all generations including a primary school student, a middle-aged father nonchalant about everything in life, and a mini4WD superhero who refuses to reveal his true identity. The popularity may recede but the lesson learned never disappeared: it is chasing after the passion instead of winning that matters. Entertainer Bob Lam gives a winning performance as the kidult with the cherubic face who is scorned in various extents by his boss, wife and 5-year old daughter. Discovering his passion for mini4WD again, his life speeds up in more ways than one.
