What happens

All About Women (Chinese: 女人不坏; pinyin: Nǚrén bú huài), originally titled She Ain't Mean and Not All Women Are Bad, is a 2008 romantic comedy-drama film directed by Tsui Hark. A Chinese-Hong Kong co-production, the film stars Zhou Xun, Zhang Yuqi, and Gwei Lun-mei. It tells a series of interwoven stories focusing on the lives of three women and their romantic relationships. Zhou plays a clumsy woman who secretly develops a pheromone drug patch, which serves as a plot device for the film; Kwai plays a punk rock band singer, who is also a boxer and novelist; and Zhang plays a wealthy attractive woman. Originally set to be an updated version of Tsui's Peking Opera Blues, All About Women was shot in Beijing, China, and was released in China and Hong Kong on 11 December 2008. The film was later released in Singapore on 8 January 2009. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
