Film description
Is marriage still a necessary attribute of the adult life in the 21st century? Fong is working in a mall specializing in wedding accessories, but when she is faced with a decision to put on a wedding ring herself, her doubts keep snowballing. Legalizing the relationship she has been in for years seems like a mere formality, but the protagonist's past holds a dark secret. Returning to the unfinished situation from many years ago and the clash with the pressures of wedding planning will raise many existential questions in Fong's mind.
A brilliant comedy-drama about relationships, defining personal freedom, and the clash between romantic fairy tales and a much more complex reality turns the convention of a romantic comedy upside down. Instead of the wedding bon mots and the candy-sweet plot twists, we get a realist, yet very humorous insight into the life of a young woman in a big metropolis, faced with the expectations of her conservative family and the widely accepted vision of life created by ads filled with snow-white dresses and cute pink babies. The intriguing insight into the world of the protagonist making unusual life choices has earned the first-time director Norris Wong the title of the new hope of Hong Kong cinema.
