A terminally ill 70-year-old grandfather is living out his twilight years when, one day he declares his love for his domestic helper, A-Ai. What's more, she's pregnant! His determination to marry her and father the unborn child leaves his children furious and puzzled. If he was your dad, how would you react? Would you be suspicious? Would you be angry? Or would it leave you at a loss?

Can you accept such an unusual relationship?

The old man's actions create an uproar in his household and ignite an exploration into the infinite facets of love. Watch how this family comes to terms with the awkward affair, and grapples with the question of unconditional love.

I LOVE A-AI premiered in Hong Kong to much popular acclaim, and is written by award-winning playwright Raymond To, who also penned the local hit musical, If There're Seasons...
