About this film+

A motorcycle courier becomes obsessed with a woman who looks exactly like his lost love in the gritty urban sprawl of Shanghai. The movie explores themes of memory, identity, and the elusive nature of true love. The handheld camera work and murky, greenish tones capture the polluted beauty of the river.
