Chinese actors shine in a well-crafted, deeply touching drama about a passionate couple who live as if each day were their last.
Veteran screenwriter Huo Xin makes her directorial debut with an elegant story about an executive businesswoman (Ni Ni) who falls head over heels for a rootless jack-of-all-trades (Zhou You). She carries a secret about a violent ex-partner (Liao Fan), while he battles a terminal illness. With love and sexual attraction as their driving force, the mismatched couple fearlessly moves between urban cityscapes and dull countryside, suggestively captured through Piao Songri's lens. A dizzying and thought-provoking tale of resilience and liberation, but above all about love, death, and the reason to live.
