Kara Wai won her first Hong Kong Film Award for her effervescent performance in this delightful kung fu comedy. She plays a young student who marries her dying teacher to keep his inheritance away from his untrustworthy relatives. When she visits her new relatives, traditional notions of familial hierarchy are upended—and her dazzling kung fu skills come in handy when a bunch of bad guys show up to steal the family property.
