Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka

In this typical Hong Kong melodrama, a sensitive photographer and his interior-designer wife decide to live apart, but their family has other ideas. The young son goes to stay with his father and grandfather, while the daughter stays with her mother, thereby gaining a youthful foothold in each camp. But one thing after another seems to sabotage the children's efforts to bring their estranged parents together again.
