Three women from three asain countries(considering hong kong seperate) meet in New york of all the places in the world and form a uncanny friendship considering they belong from different regions and share different professions.
One is a aspiring actress trying her hand in different acting auditions,
One is a daughter of a chinese restaurant owner, herself working there; and one is a newly married trying her luck in love.
It may not be a "Eat Sleep Man Woman" by ang lee, or "Taipei Story" by edward yang but Stanley Kwan's this film sure does leave a mark.
The lives of the three leads could have been explored more but still how much is shown does a good job for us in understanding their situations and problems.
This is a type of movie that you may forget about after some time, but still remember in a vague memory that you had seen it. It manages to keep you entertained in its less than 90 min runtime, which is enough for it. Seeing it after knowing the leading ladies and their other works, especially Maggie cheung and Sylvia Chang will surely help you like the film better.
