Synopsis —

An eccentric but pessimistic struggling author with overnight success and his long-time manager share one last interaction over a sour tea and a cigarette, in the only (hipster) cafe they could find; reflecting on their uneasy relationship and the gloomy future that awaits them.

Part of an anthology film (FALLEN LEAVES, BROKEN LIGHTERS) by seven very different filmmakers from Hong Kong, with tea, cigarettes, and broken lighters in common.
