Ting-yin finds herself in a parallel universe where abandoned things end up, including aborted
fetus es, leading some critics to believe the film carried an anti-abortion message. "That just happens to be one of the topics in the movie. We are not out to say if abortion is right or wrong", Oxide Pang said in one interview.
