Synopsis

In booming Taipei, the seemingly bright future of a pair of childhood lovers is steadily weighed down by the past. Former baseball player Lung and yuppie career woman Chin face familial obligations, furtive lovers, and a growing sense of modern malaise to chase their elusive dreams of marriage and migration. A key film of New Taiwan Cinema, Edward Yang’s sophomore feature stars director Hou Hsiao-hsien and pop singer Tsai Chin in an affecting portrait of a generation, and city, caught in the throes of change.
