Love in a Puff Cantonese Film Synopsis :Since 2007, the Hong Kong health authority has implemented an anti-smoking law that bans people from smoking in all indoor areas, including work places, public places, restaurants, and karaoke lounges. This pushes office smokers to take their cigarette breaks outdoors in the street. Smokers from the same building are gradually bonded and form a new community known as "Hot Pot Pack" as they would gather around a trash bin with an ashtray, sharing small talk with raunchy jokes like they are at a hot pot dinner.
Chimney (Shawn Yue) is a mild mannered, sneaky and smooth advertising executive in his twenties. While smoking in an alley packed with booming loudmouth co-workers and sharing explicit gossip and horror stories, he befriends a misfit cosmetics salesgirl Springer (Miriam Yeung) who also likes to light up. And awkward romance soon blossoms amidst the anxiety of their nicotine rush. As they become more attracted to each other they also find themselves moving farther away from their regular "hot pot pack" into their own private alley, where their conversations suggest more emotional depths, covering the collision of reality and delightfully trivial matters of the bizarre people around them.
Love in a Puff Hong Kong Movie Review :
Ask any smoker - all the best gossip, jokes and stories are told on cigarette breaks. Whether you're an office worker or a high school student, those few minutes when you're forced to head outside, come rain or shine, or hide in some remote location where you shouldn't really be, to partake in a little, nicotine-based self abuse, are moments to be treasured. Non-smokers may be feeling morally superior, as they sit inside, their lungs free from tar and carbon monoxide, but they may also feel a slight sting of exclusion. And they would be right.
All too often, it's during fag breaks (apologies, I'm British) that the embarrassing tales from the night before come out, or the plans for the next night on the town are made - in the fire escapes or outside the Emergency Exits, away from eavesdroppers and superiors. Popping out for a cigarette is also the perfect excuse to ask that particular co-worker or classmate whom you quite like, out on a 5-minute mini-date and get some quality one-on-one time away from prying eyes.
It's within this environment that Pang Ho Cheung sets his new romantic comedy, LOVE IN A PUFF. Cherie (Miriam Yeung) is a cosmetics sales girl who has become smoking buddies with the staff of a nearby advertising agency. Every day they meet in an alleyway, to enjoy a smoke and a gossip, and it is here she is introduced to Jimmy (Shawn Yue). Jimmy, she has been told, has just broken up with his girlfriend and although Cherie is in a relationship, they strike up a conversation and end up exchanging phone numbers. The film follows these two characters over the next seven days as they get to know each other.
