One of Hong Kongs most influential filmmakers, Ann Hui, becomes a star for the first time in Man Lim-chungs directorial debut. A forerunner of the New Wave, Huis tumultuous, forty-year career is an unequivocal testimony to her unyielding dedication to filmmaking, and her expedition into the metamorphic city. This biopic probes into the acclaimed directors idiosyncratic world, where we witness her rashness and goofiness, as well as her humanistic concerns for the everyday nobodies which make her films so moving.
