PlotThe film deals with a normal working-class couple, whose relationship deteriorates under stress due to lack of trust and communication. ReceptionDavid Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter praised Quan's rookie efforts as "nuanced", adding that "Tao’s performance in the central role alone makes it captivating".[2] Derek Elley of Film Business Asia rated it 7 out of 10 and states "the film is made engrossing by its two lead actors... (Tao) simply gets better and better with age, drawing a subtle portrait of a bored wife who still longs for more than she's ended up with: tiny details in costuming, gestures and looks make this a performance that could so easily have been over-ripe."[1] Awards
