Abstract:

The modern urban life of material comfort and social discomfort is portrayed in this funny, sad, and truthful look at romance today. Rene Liu stars as an ophthalmologist who quits her job to search for the perfect mate through the newspaper personal ads. As she meets several wholly inappropriate matches and comes face-to-face with overwhelming loneliness, the film moves in an unexpected direction. "...lightly comic and ultimately poignant" (Christopher Bourne, 24 Frames Per Second).
