Hong Kong, 1962: Chow, the editor-in-chief of a local daily newspaper, and his wife move into a new flat in an upmarket neighbourhood. On the very same day, Li-Zhen and her husband move in next door. It is striking that both have moved in without the help of their spouses. They begin to spend more and more time together, as their partners are often away on business. One day, they realise that their spouses are actually each other’s lovers. The discovery shocks them both. Chow harbours a secret that was originally intended as sweet revenge, but ended quite differently. Li-Zhen, whose husband had been having an affair with Chow’s wife for some time, has now fallen into the trap set by Chow. The revenge was perfect – or so it seemed. But something happened that Chow hadn’t anticipated: he fell in love with Li-Zhen…

In this film, the director portrays the nature of the relationship between a man and a woman in a more tender light; his characters live in a kind of timelessness, unburdened by the past. Here, the two shy lovers experience their most stirring emotions through imagination or silent recollection. The boundaries between factual events and the imaginary are blurred...

Bem Cinema
