Plot

After eight years of marriage to Liyan ? once rich but now sickly and almost suicidally apathetic following a long, ruinous war ? Yuwen does little except deliver his daily medication. A surprise visit from Liyan?s friend Zhang re-energises the household, the invalid included. Liyan?s young sister is not alone in her excitement over the much-travelled guest; Yuwen knew him before her marriage? Eliciting a great performance from Wei Wei as Yuwen, whose wistful voiceover offers insights into her conflicted feelings, Fei creates a tense, sensual chamberwork steeped in suspicion and suppressed longing, deep resentments and half-spoken truths.
