 SYNOPSIS

But her quest for justice soon isolates her from the rest of  the world: her husband wants to negotiate a cash compensation, and Buddhist beliefs require her to let go of her demand since destiny should bring justice in the next life. All Wu Yu asks for is to meet the driver face to face. If only she could find him…

 PRESS REVIEWS 

"A heartfelt and potent movie with very convincing performances."

-- Victor FRAGA, DMovies


''This is not Manichean tales of poor female versus evil establishment. A number of questions are raised. They remain unanswered, leaving viewers to reflect about morality and practicality.'' 

-- Victor FRAGA, DMovies


''A Strong central performance by Canadian-Chinese actress Yan Wensi as a young woman seeking justice after the hit-and-run death of her mother.''

-- Demetrios MATHEOU, Screen
