    harrowing portrait of a young member of the Chinese community in Holland
    This movie develops slowly but give it a chance.

    It focuses on a young Chinese guy, Jacky, in the Netherlands (Eindhoven) who is pretty much still under his mother's wings. His family arrange a marriage and ChiChi comes over. He is not ready for a marriage and the poor girl is left by herself most of the time. His indirection in life is reflected by his family and friends: his obnoxious brother, the gay singer who makes a pass at him, the tourist guide. The ending is abrupt but appropriate.

    Holland never looked so small and cold to me. Harrowing.
