Description

It’s 2005 and Christy – born and raised in Hong Kong – is a week away from turning 30. Her job is stressful, her relationship stuck, her parents aging and annoying.Joyce — also a week shy of her 30th birthday — leads a vastly different lifestyle in Hong Kong. She’s in a dead-end job and has never been in love. With her indomitable optimism she takes off on a trip to fulfill a childhood dream.

When Christy is suddenly evicted from her apartment she temporarily moves into Joyce’s while she’s away. Though the two have never met and are as different as night and day, Joyce enables Christy to ‘know’ her in unique and touching ways. Director Kearen Pang has skillfully adapted her extremely successful stage play, graciously opening her heart to wider audiences in this sensitive, uplifting film.
