Dung sing sai tsau 2011

• Comedy

Tens of millennia ago, eight gods who ceaselessly fought each other were exiled to earth. For generations, they have been reincarnated as mere mortals, and they won't be allowed back to heaven until they've learned to coexist in harmony. Then in today's Hong Kong, a mortuary beautician and her has-been singer dad are chased for a huge sum of money they don't owe. Turns out her materialistic stepmom has taken a tycoon's advance payment on the false promise of organizing a concert that she can't deliver. The family is therefore forced to go on the run, and along the way they meet an assortment of quirky people, including a mute baker, a kung fu cab driver, an aspiring musician and her crafty sidekick. Through a series of comic misadventures, the seven of them come to realize that they used to be gods and have a mission in this life, but...who is the eighth god that has yet to rejoin them?

East Meets West is a 2011 Hong Kong comedy that blends mythology with modern-day mayhem. The film follows a mortuary beautician and her struggling singer father who flee a debt they didn't incur, only to discover they're part of an ancient group of reincarnated gods learning to live in harmony. Along with a quirky ensemble cast, they must uncover the identity of the eighth missing god while navigating comic chaos across Hong Kong.

When does East Meets West come out?
