DAYLIGHT FIREWORKS

Victor’s business is falling into decline. His business partner Weihong comes from China to pull the firm out of the crisis and get his money back. A calm, rational Chinese brings his own order, trying to dismiss ineffective employees, but the team revolts. Deciding to take Victor’s house as a debt, Weihong faces unexpected resistance – Victor’s three daughters are not going to part with their family nest.
