Once again, Hsu Ji, 6, has forgotten that when the police is parked in front of her school, she must meet her father elsewhere…No more school for her! Their old landlady will teach her… to sew on a machine in the attic. Alone, Hsu Ji staves off her boredom by watching an old slapstick movie until the film’s three protagonists end up in the real world… They have so much in common with Hsu Ji: for starters, they don’t have their papers either…
