Plot
An aspiring violinist and a professional translator live parallel lives and appear to be perfect for each other, but somehow fate seems to keep them apart. Living in different units of the same apartment building, they never meet, because when they leave, one turns left, and one turns right.
Sinekatalog’s take
Johnnie To and Wai Ka-fai's romance, with Takeshi Kaneshiro and Gigi Leung, is sweet and whimsical, based on a picture book.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
