Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
Twenty years ago, when she was a university student, To Choi Mei (Lin Ching Hsia) had an affair with one of her professors. The professor's pregnant wife convinced them to break the relationship off. Now she is a social worker, and while her old classmates flee the impending reunification with China by moving to Europe and the U.S., she is just taking on a teenaged boy (David Wu) as a new case. Losing sight of her professionalism entirely, she quickly becomes embroiled in a passionate relationship with the boy, whom she discovers to be the child of her old flame.
