Hong Kong in the 1920s. Weilong′s family found asylum in Hong Kong due to rumors of war, leaves back for Shanghai. To continue studying in Hong Kong, Weilong visits her father’s estranged rich sister Liang. Liang lives a bourgeois life as a queen of Hong Kong’s society circles notoriously having affairs with lots of men, and she tries to take control of Weilong′s life. Weilong runs into a playboy George, one of Liang’s boyfriends, falling in emotional turbulence. The conflicts around them are getting out of control. Master filmmaker Ann Hui’s latest film delicately depicts the helplessness and sadness of the youth who cannot control their lives and loves in 1920s Hong Kong when the political unrest and sense of war were overwhelming. The director won the Golden Lion Lifetime Achievement Award at the Venice Film Festival. (PARK Sun Young)
