Her values are seriously challenged when she encounters three people: Kuan-Kuan, her young nephew, Mr Pan Zichang (Chow Yun Fat), an ageing charmer and Jin Yonghua, a homeless woman. In their different ways they try to con Mrs Ye out of her meagre finances and she undergoes a crisis of faith in human nature, culminating in falling down and breaking her leg. Reflecting on her misfortune in hospital, Mrs Ye is visited by her estranged daughter (Vicky Zhao Wei) and her whole approach to life changes in surprising ways.   Awards   Best Actress, Best Original Film Score - Hong Kong Film Awards 2008 Best Film, Best Director, Best Actress - Hong Kong Film Critics Society 2007 Best Actress Award - Beijing Student Film Festival 2007 Official Selection: "Winds of Asia" Tokyo Int'l Film Festival 2006 "Special Presentation Programme" - Toronto Int'l Film 2006 "Window of Asia" Pusan Int'l Film Festival 2006       Reset
