Film description

Bao-er's life has just taken a sharp turn – her husband, Derek, found a younger partner. Even worse, their little son likes her. Bao-er has to find her new footing without loosing her self-esteem. Luckily, her loyal friends are at her side, ready for honest conversations about literally anything. The camera follows the women who feel great in their own company and openly discuss the meanders of emotions. Can this support group solve Bao-er's biggest problems? Is life without men even possible?

Full of melancholy and humor, Kwan's debut was appreciated by both local audiences and critics. The debuting director was supported by an excellent cast – Cora Miao, Cherie Chung, and Chow Yun-fat, who quickly went on to become the biggest action cinema star of the Fragrant Harbor. The film's positive reception launched one of the most brilliant directing careers in contemporary Hong Kong cinema.
