Plot

A divorced, retired painting teacher from Shanghai falls in love with a woman who is also divorced. The involvement of his ex-wife and a student of his makes the whole thing complicated.

Sinekatalog’s take

A divorced retired teacher falls for another divorcee, but his ex-wife and a student complicate matters. The Chinese romcom is gentle, mature and gently comic about late-life love. A pleasant watch for viewers who like grown-up romances.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
