Movie Info

Can one really find love through the personals? A strong-willed doctor, Wu (Rene Liu), is about to find out after placing an ad. Soon, calls start pouring in from all kinds of men, from a gentle writer to a miserly entrepreneur. But is Wu truly in the market for a relationship? Or is she merely passing time until an ex she's still pining for comes around? Only time will tell whether her ruse will work -- or whether a new man will steal her heart.

A little like a blind date - sometimes charming, sometimes difficult, never revealing too much at once, and always leaving you with plenty to think about afterwards.

Rene Liu is winsome in this very subtle performance and sympathetic role of a woman suffering from loneliness.

a very well acted film starring rene liu and much more complex than the movie description and reviews admit. Comparison to Hal Hartley films are loose. While this film had flashes of comedy, it is better categorized as a drama.
