Directed by Johnnie To, the film centres on a heartbroken movie star who retreats to a remote mountain lodge after being left at the altar, where he forms an unexpected bond with a woman still holding onto a lost love of her own.

Synopsis: Movie star icon Michael (Louis Koo) sinks into a depression after being publicly dumped at the altar by his former fiancée. After embarking on a drunken bender, he is found in a mountain forest, lost and barely responsive, by Sue (Sammi Cheng), who runs the local guesthouse and is still grieving the loss of her husband, who mysteriously disappeared in the woods several years prior. As Sue slowly nurses Michael back to health and the pair learn more about their shared pasts, they embark on a journey to find catharsis in each other.
