I Blew Out the Candles Before Making a Wish (2026)
Young Jojo suddenly comes into a stack of casino chips worth a million and decides to pay off her runaway father’s debt, asking the down-on-his-luck debt collector Hua to gamble on her behalf. In Macau’s chaotic casinos, they form an unlikely alliance, navigating wins, losses, and life’s challenges together. When the final bet arrives, fate cruelly tests them, stripping them of everything, yet revealing the true gift life has been offering. I Blew Out the Candle Before Making a Wish explores money, family, and responsibility, capturing the shadows and resilience of human nature.
