After a long night of strenuous work, wealthy businessman Tom (Ekin Cheng) drives his team of four dedicated employees home. His car weaves in and out of traffic and -- across multiple stops -- slowly empties, until only two passengers remain, Tom and Pearl (Karena Lam), a soft-spoken, intelligent woman. The duo's journey together continues, intercut with flashbacks in reverse of the preceding year, a time of oppressive office politics, almost-kisses and guarded quasi-romance.

04/23/2012 good try, but a disappointing "ending". All plots and build-ups amount to nothing... See more 08/05/2011 Average office-affair movie told in non-linear flashbacks - one time watch! See more 07/03/2010 Piacevole e curato, ma dove vuole andare a parare? ... See more 04/12/2010 Can Ivy Ho ever write a transparent script? But I like. And I like Karena Lam even more. See more 11/24/2009 Ni säger att de hade en kärleksaffär. Hur vet ni det? De pratade ju knappt med varandra. Lågmäld är väl årets underdrift. Fint annars, visst. See more 11/15/2009 in the pressured city with no dreams, in the confined space, condensed air it is slow, it is sweet, it is ambiguous it is mysterious so it is beautiful & attractive it is love it is not love See more Read all reviews
