Two melancholic Hong Kong policemen fall in love: one with a mysterious underworld figure, the other with a beautiful and ethereal server at a late-night restaurant he frequents.
A melancholy story set in Hong Kong in 1962. A woman and a man who live in the same crowded apartment building discover that their husband and wife are having an affair.
Elizabeth, a disenchanted young woman, embarks on a soul-searching journey to distance herself from a broken heart. As emotional wounds begin to fade, her experiences with a series of disconnected strangers lead to new and unexpected chapters in her life. From the poetic musings of a late-night café owner to the desperate propositions of a down-on-her-luck gambler, these individuals redefine Elizabeth's perspectives on life, relationships and, ultimately, her own identity. Slowly, Elizabeth begins letting go of the past as she discovers a new path for herself -- one towards true love.
