After a long night of strenuous work, wealthy businessman Tom (Ekin Cheng) drives his team of four dedicated employees home. His car weaves in and out of traffic and -- across multiple stops -- slowly empties, until only two passengers remain, Tom and Pearl (Karena Lam), a soft-spoken, intelligent woman. The duo's journey together continues, intercut with flashbacks in reverse of the preceding year, a time of oppressive office politics, almost-kisses and guarded quasi-romance.

Audience Member good try, but a disappointing "ending". All plots and build-ups amount to nothing... Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Average office-affair movie told in non-linear flashbacks - one time watch! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Piacevole e curato, ma dove vuole andare a parare? ... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Can Ivy Ho ever write a transparent script? But I like. And I like Karena Lam even more. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Ni säger att de hade en kärleksaffär. Hur vet ni det? De pratade ju knappt med varandra. Lågmäld är väl årets underdrift. Fint annars, visst. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member in the pressured city with no dreams, in the confined space, condensed air it is slow, it is sweet, it is ambiguous it is mysterious so it is beautiful & attractive it is love it is not love Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
