Seven members of a film crew show up one at a time at Billy's Bar, the famous watering hole at the American Club of Hong Kong. There they talk to the bartender, Ho, who has the power to elicit their deepest secrets and desires. Questions like what is art cinema, how does it work, and who is in charge are discussed, and before long cimema is touted not only as the dominant art form, it tries to enfold existence itself into its frames, bringing up the greater question of appearance and reality.
