An elegantly produced award-winner that revisits a tumultuous moment in recent Hong Kong history, and scores big as a saga of love, loyalty, and friendship. Roguish young actor Fay (Chow Yun Fat) has his sights set on either Australia or America, and dreams of a better life alongside his best friends Nam (Cecilia Yip), an aristocrat's daughter, and her working-class boyfriend Kueng (Alex Man). Their plans to leave Hong Kong by ship are thwarted by the 1941 Japanese invasion, a catastrophic event that sends each of their lives into a tailspin.
