Triumph in the skies synopsis..

Mostly concentrates on the 3 main characters, Samuel (Francis Ng), Isabelle (Flora Chan) and Vincent(Joe Ma). Isabelle is a lady who relies on fate and destiny in her love life. Samuel and Vincent are best friends who are both pilots. Isabelle has been looking for a doll called Triangel which she believes would bring her to her future husband as the doll was how her parents met. She posted an advertisement looking for the doll and for whoever who found the doll to get in touch of her.

INitially Samuel who was on his short break in Australia found the doll and arranged to meet with Isabelle. Before he was able to do so he dropped the doll, it having picked up by another girl Zoe(Myolie Wu). Zoe happened to be a passenger on Samuel's flight and Zoe fell in love with Samuel when she met him. Zoe did not return the doll to Samuel, hence Sam and Belle never met.

At the mean time, Samuel's dream had always been to be able to fetch ('fly') his mother back to HK, his mom left him at a very young age and he was always in search of her all these years. His dad coincidentally met his mom during his visit to Italy and managed to 'court' her back. He arranged for his wife to board the plane without Samuel's knowledge, who was later very surprised and happy to see his mom. Samuel in fact also has a younger brother Isaac (Ron Ng) who was never told his identity by his mother. Isaac was told that he was his mother's brother because she didn't want to reveal her identity. When Isaac and his mother returned home to HK, he thought that Samuel(who was in fact his brother) was his nephew. The scenes with Isaac and Samuel were hillarious. Isaac being the rebellious young kiddo. Samuel always annoyed at how Isaac behaves irresponsibly towards his own affairs. (I have only watched up till this part) Isaac later agrees to try out piloting. At first Samuel thinks that Isaac was trying to 'annoy' his further and get back at him.

Generally, it's a great movie about a group of young dashing pilots, one female and 4 males(Isaac being one of them). Centres around their lives, how they all ended up being pilots, most having to do with circumstances of how they were brought up. Lovely story. Very very nice! definitely worth watching.
