離合戲

Love is a long road with moments of separation and reunion. Even an experienced driver must remember safety first and keep the clutch in check to avoid repeating the same mistakes in love. CHAN, a middle-aged man with several different types of driver’s license, is dissatisfied with young hearse driver Zi-ling’s driving skills, so he takes over the position. Two people who lost their better halves embark on a journey of life and death, healing, guilt, and letting go. The film depicts this road trip romance through a series of analogies related to modes of transportation, filling the screen with scenery on the roads of Hong Kong. The film, with its ambitious production scale, also charts the social changes of Hong Kong since the turn of the century.
