What it is
Two loosely linked stories in Hong Kong. A lovesick policeman buys cans of pineapple expiring on May 1, his birthday, giving his ex until then to come back, and spends a night with a mysterious woman in a blonde wig. A second policeman, also newly single, doesn't notice that Faye, who works at a snack bar, has started secretly letting herself into his apartment with keys his ex left behind.
