John is an English photojournalist who has spent over a decade in Hong Kong; his friend Jim often crashes in his cramped apartment. John's unrequited love is Vivian whom he aches for but has not the nerve to possess. Concurrent with England's transfer of Hong Kong back to the Chinese, John discovers that he has a rare form of leukemia and has only months to live. So John, Jim, and the disfigured proto-hippy Jean grab a digital video camera and prowl the streets, seeking to document the "real" Hong Kong one last time. —Fred Goodridge

Thoroughly Enjoyable
I love this film as a case study into the depths of man's self examination paralleled with the struggle of a country doing the same.I came away with a better understanding of this country's heady excitement and worries as well as a connection to Jeremy Irons character watching and making a difficult transition and acceptance of responsibilities for both. Great film,superb acting.
