While sitting in a bar, each dispenses precise exposition, reciting his own personal history as if reading from a casting call sheet. Before leaving the bar, Adam who graduated from Cambridge and works as a managing director at a big bank picks up Julie, a bored socialite whose much older husband is running for local office. Meanwhile, Shing spies rich divorcee Linda and makes a quick connection. Is it for money or is it for love? Who knows or cares - she's got the bank account and he's got the virile young body and good grooming habits. He gets Linda's financial help to open his own hair salon, and soon forms a bond with Linda's teenage son, whose awkwardness and proto-Justin Bieber hairdo signal certain alternative leanings. Meanwhile, Ka-Lok teaches literature while wandering morosely around Hong Kong. He is searching for his long-lost father, who may be dead or disappeared, and that makes his moroseness nearly intolerable to himself and others. One of his mainland students, Snowy takes a shine to him, though he's so morose that Rihanna could jump his bones and he probably wouldn't stop reading that damn Sylvia Plath novel. Ka-Lok's situation eventually slides into a morose personal hell, while Adam's affair with Julie also leads to a form of perdition. Written by Jiilo_Kim See less
