The verdict
There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is not currently playing in Hong Kong cinemas. 82 minutes.
What it is about
In post-pandemic Shanghai, two women — one leaving, one staying — share a single electric night wandering the city. A tender, breezy queer love story where chemistry, connection and bittersweet goodbyes feel thrillingly alive.
What to expect
Two women, one leaving Shanghai and one staying, spend a single night drifting through the city. The 82-minute runtime keeps the focus tight on their chemistry — glances, silences, the weight of a goodbye neither wants to say aloud. It is a tender, unhurried piece that trusts its actors to carry the feeling. This is a Hong Kong Lesbian & Gay Film Festival screening, so it plays a limited run rather than a commercial release. Mandarin dialogue, with English and Chinese subtitles. No certificate is listed.
