Plot Synopsis

Whenever the police encounter a difficult case, they will call on him to help to solve it; The FBI, Scotland Yard, all hire him as a consultant. He is Detective Mak, Bobby Mak, the private detective who is known to be the most famous detective since Sherlock Holmes. 

Bobby Mak used to be the kid who is called McDull. McDull is a slow kid, but his mum is shrewd. She transforms a 300-square foot apartment into a 2 bedroom, with dining and living room, sauna, gym and library. From a 100-square feet shop, she manages a real estate agency, tuck shop, plumbing service, beauty salon and second hand mobile phone shop, plus a private detective agency. (No joke, private detective!) She can use rice, salted fish, and cabbage to cook Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, French, or even a buffet. She can use a wire hanger to fix the toilet, remote-control toy plane、ceiling lamp and umbrella. 

She keeps exploiting her ability to provide the most with the minimal, taking jobs after jobs, and finally fell ill because of over-exhaustion. While Mrs. Mak is hospitalized, McDull's Big uncle takes up the responsibility to look after him. Even though the movie has not mentioned, the audience would probably think that this Big uncle is in fact the father McDull has never met. Like a puff of smoke, Mrs. Mak is discharged, and this Big uncle of McDull's is never to be seen again. 

Mcdull grows up, feeling the unbearable heaviness and uncertainty of life. McDull goes away. He hops on a fishing boat to become a fisherman, travelling from pier to pier. The farther he goes, the more detached he is from his mum. 

Until that year, the memories of what his mum did for him all come back, every detail, every painstaking efforts, every bit of love, they shuffle in McDull's mind and collide with each other. They rearrange themselves in him, and the witty and smart Mrs. Mak is suddenly living in McDull...
