The verdict

There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is playing 1 time at 1 cinema across 1 district, from HK$115. The cheapest seat is at Emperor Cinemas Tsuen Wan (Citywalk) in Tsuen Wan, HK$115. Category IIA · 142 minutes.

What it is about

Set in Malaysia, the film follows a young woman named Du Li An who falls in love with a man named Lin Sang in 1969 before he mysteriously disappears. Years later, after marrying a gangster and becoming stepmother to a teenage girl, Du Li An encounters a man who looks exactly like her vanished lover. The decade-spanning narrative blends elements of romance, mystery and coming-of-age storytelling.

What to expect

Edmund Yeo sets a love story across decades in Malaysia, opening in 1969 when Du Li An's first love, Lin Sang, vanishes. Years later, now married to a gangster and stepmother to a teenage girl, she confronts a man who looks exactly like the one she lost. At 142 minutes, the movie takes its time with the weight of that premise, leaning into a quiet, melancholic register rather than thriller mechanics. It is rated IIA and screening this week at a single Hong Kong cinema, with the cheapest ticket at HK$115. The movie plays in Chinese with English and Chinese subtitles.
