After her fiancé dies in a traffic accident, Siu Wai (Cecilia Cheung) takes custody of his son and assumes his job as a bus driver. She believes she can succeed as a single mother, but life is much more difficult than she had expected. While her relatives discourage her and erode her confidence, Dai Fai (Lau Ching Wan), one of her fiancé's former colleagues, helps her learn the business. As they work together, they try to ignore the romance that is obviously blooming between them.

This is the kind of Asian film I enjoy – not simply a well-crafted movie but one that is culture and site-specific. You’re simply not going to get this story out of Hollywood. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Leprechaun K @LeprechaunKing Feb 26 Lau and Yee pair up again and it didn't disappoint. Movie was great. See more 04/19/2020 Perfect both the story and the actors. See more 08/06/2013 slow and somewhat unbelievable See more 05/21/2013 Accidentally switched the audio stream to Mandarin dub, and realized that the lousy Mainland dubber already killed half of the film's emotion by her lack of husky voice - or the distinctive "Cecilia's voice". Despite all the crazy scandals, or her up-and-downs in the career, Cecilia really possesses an incomparable charm among her generation (of Hong Kong actresses), which can be proved by this film. From the very first film (King of Comedy), Cecilia already showed that she could be at her best with characters that try to cover their fragility and loneliness by strong-will and reckless behaviour. And maybe she needs that kind of role again (and such good director like Derek Yee) to revive her career, a chance that she deserves because that is also a chance for the Hong Kong cinema to get back its treasure - one of the most original actresses in recent years. See more 02/11/2013 Great acting, great story though nothing groundbreaking. Sweet, mature and intelligent. See more 09/08/2011 An excellent romance drama from Derek Yee. He scores fantastic performances from Cecilia Cheung and Ching Wan Lau, who have some complicated character flaws as the story progresses. As it is rooted in character development,the growth is very apparent and it makes for a very good movie. If I had to compare, it's like the Hong Kong Kramer vs Kramer. (in terms of tone and quality, not plot) See more Read all reviews
