Synopsis
Dive into the enchanting world of Cantonese opera! Our playful backstage helper discovers a magical remote control and can't resist having some fun. He mischievously directs the Cantonese opera artists and makes the actors move to his commands. The audience is invited to join the fun, using the remote to control the Cantonese opera scenes while learning the graceful gestures and meanings behind each movement. But watch out—the magical remote starts to act on its own, leading to unexpected hilarity and magic!
