Plot
Secondary school teacher Lam Yiu-kwok is suffering from a mid-life crisis—his peers have all become more successful than him; his relationship with his wife, Chan Man-ching, is in trouble when her old flame returns, and he finds himself tempted by a 17-year-old student who has a crush on him.
Sinekatalog’s take
Ann Hui's Hong Kong drama, with Jacky Cheung, Karena Lam and Anita Mui, is gentle, wry and sad, a fine study of middle age.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
