West Side Story - Synopsis

The story took place in 30 December 1999. A group of youngsters with Riff as their leader, grown up in Hong Kong, like fooling around in Tsim Sha Tsui especially the piazza of the Hong Kong Culture Center. They thought they were much taller if they were triad gangsters, though in fact they were not. At that night, they played around in the piazza as usual. Except that, like many of us, they were over excited by the atmosphere because it was near the end of the 20th century. As they played and strolled around, they were hit by a pair of lover, which led to quarrel and a small fight. The pair left and the group was so happy as if they had won a battle. However, the pair returned again with their group led by Bernado. Many of them were recently immigrated to Hong Kong living in the Jordan area. This time both groups prepared for a real fight, which was stopped by policemen in time. The story does not stop here. These two groups unfortunately met again in an end of the century party organized by a social worker in Yau Ma Tei. Riff's best friend, Tony, fell in love with Bernado's sister, Maria, during the party. Their love was doomed and there could only be one ending.
