Summary: NULL
Appealing little drama, nothing special, about Pao Wing Cheung (Emil Chow), a cartoon voice-dubber whose pretty wife (Cecelia Yip) so fears 1997 that she emigrates to Canada while her husband rakes in cash from a lucrative new assignment. Pao's new boss (Christy Cheung) seems nice enough, but it grows evident that she's using Pao as the lynch-pin to her own success; and when sexual favors pass his way, obviously there's no resisting Christy. A breezy story of infidelity suddenly turns into an intense morality tale when the wife discovers the truth about Pao, and he tosses off his own blinders, realizing he's been used by people much smarter and Machiavallian than he could imagine. The strangest part of the movie happens at the very end, when cast members discuss their feelings about the characters.
(2.5/4)
