Hong Kong, 1997. A mainland-born computer software designer and his wife. A Taiwanese boy who feels a strong and inexplicable attraction to the programmer but ends up making love to his wife. Then there is an affable gay Hong Kong-born real estate agent. The Taiwanese boy returns to Taipei and meets a woman who looks exactly like the programmer's wife. All these lives intertwine. Images as fragments of lives are freed from melodramatic chronology and put together following the protagonists' emotions. After experience in theater, with experimental shorts, and making two documentaries which allowed him to look back to his own roots and identity, Stanley Kwan has attained an astonishing simplicity, frankness and honesty in describing modern people confused with their love: each of them trying to see him/herself as he/she really is—to regain peace, a relationship with oneself as well as with others. It is also a spiritual, and phychological document about what Hong Kong's 1997 historical transition has meant to its people. (Source: YIDFF)
