What happens

是1987年上映的一齣传记剧情電影,由楊羚、區海倫、施偉然主演,為導演邱禮濤的電影處女作。本片入圍第7屆香港電影金像獎最佳新人及最佳美術指導提名。 在舊式屋邨從小一起長大的阿珊(楊羚 飾)和海倫(區海倫 飾)情同姊妹,一次同被選中出演青春片《擁抱》。海倫愛上了唱片騎師阿力(施偉然 飾),對他早已對阿珊萌生愛意一事並不知情。海倫以為阿珊搶走自己的男朋友,在誤會下她們從好朋友反目成陌路人。一次,阿珊因拒演祼露床戲遭電影公司武力逼迫,不但動粗打人,還迫她吞下迷幻藥拍戲,雖然得到導演的同情,但最後還是忍淚就範。在電影記者招待會上,她心不甘情不願地出席,但最終還是忍不住翻桌離場。電影上映後票房大賣,電影公司又來找阿珊拍續集。已與阿力同居的她不願再拍戲,為免連累阿力,她悄悄地從阿力家出走,以避開電影公司再迫她。後來海倫頂替了阿珊的戲份,星運頗佳。一日,海倫在街上看見大腹便便又無家可歸的阿珊,兩人冰釋前嫌,海倫決定留她在家中居住。阿珊18歲生日那天,帶着幾分醉意的電影公司老闆又再前來滋擾,阿珊在糾纏期間意外摔倒,下體出血...... 本片取材被認為影射女演員林碧琪於1982年拍攝電影《靚妹仔》期間被強暴的傳聞(她憑該片獲得香港電影金像獎最佳女主角)。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
