Hong Kong Trilogy: Preschooled Preoccupied Preposterous is a story of Hong Kong told by three generations: "Preschooled" children, "Preoccupied" young people, and "Preposterous" senior citizens.

In Preschooled, "Little Red Cap" tries to resolve the question "Why are there so many gods in this world? Is it because so many people need to be saved?" by evangelising all the major faiths to her schoolmates. "Vodka Wong" releases plastic turtles to redeem the bad karma that resulted from his parents' neglect of him.

In Preoccupied, young people occupy the streets of Hong Kong. They stop the city to think about what they want for their future. Twenty-eight-year-old "Thierry the Feng Shui Master" and her crew of underground rappers and artists give voice to their discontent.

"Lady Swim" and "Mister Li" look Preposterous as they go on a speed-dating tour of the city trying to reconcile their new energies and the obligations convention has imposed on them.

The characters of each generation wonder how to live, here and now. At the end of their journey, they find no answers. Yet what they do find is that they are not alone in asking the universal questions that we all share.

Christopher Doyle and the Hong Kong Trilogy Team spent a year interviewing hundreds of people of all ages and backgrounds. Their edited recordings give the film its blueprint for the quasi-fictional narrative that the real person plays as the audience hears (in voice-over) how these real Hong Kong people see the world. This is the first crowd-funded Hong Kong film to be released in theaters.
