Only cloud Knows

Director Feng Xiaogang's (1942, I am Not Madame Bovary) latest production is a departure from his past works in historical drama and urban comedy, spanning several decades in the love story of Sui Dongfeng (Huang Xuan) and Luo Yun (Yang Caiyu). The two protagonists meet in their 20s in New Zealand, but despite their obvious attraction, Luo seems to be holding back. Eventually, the two get married and begin running a Chinese restaurant together, happily for the most part, in spite of Luo's constant struggle for a sense of security. She has been hiding a secret that can only be pieced together after her death. The film is based on the real-life experiences of a friend of the director's.
