In the days preceding the Chinese takeover of Hong Kong, an embittered expatriate British journalist pines unrequitedly for a beautiful but distant Chinese society woman. A heavily metaphorical and atmospheric love story, with each of the principals representing an aspect of the complicated cultural quadrangle between Hong Kong, Mainland China, England, and the global community.
