Synopsis The swimming team is deflated after its captain, Tin Heng, passed away tragically. However, a reserve of the team, Gei Yuen, works his way up in hope to represent his captain in competitions and to boost the team's morale. His mind may be focused on Tin Heng whom he idolises, but he cast his watchful and silent infatuated glances on Tsz Suen, Tin Heng's girlfriend and member of the girls' swimming team, who remains aloof and even apparently nonchalant about her boyfriend's death. Gei Yuen originally thinks Tsz Suen is dismissing her emotions to mask her sadness. However, he finds out that she is harbouring a secret...

Remarks shared after Festival


"I met many filmmakers from Iran, and we
talked about the censorship policy in China and Iran. It is good to see that
how a developing country spends its resources to make film festival."

“This is the third time that the DC
Chinese Film Festival in Washington has been held by the committee. In general,
a large number of Chinese-language films was screened, and a wide variety of
themes was also covered. The location of the venue was great. The audience was
mainly Chinese in the United States, yet it would be better if the festival
could also absorb more local Americans as the audience. This year's film
festival had featured a variety of Chinese films, which enabled the US-based
filmmakers and audience to appreciate the excellent film productions in recent
years, at the same time the directorial symposium did also enable the audience
to better understand the origins of film production and Director's idea. As the
whole, I think that the trip to this film festival has allowed me to have a
better understanding of the people who worked in the United States, and I had a
new perspective on my films. I also took the opportunity to talk with Chinese
directors working in the US to learn about their work environment and introduce
them to the development of the Chinese commercial film market. This festival is
still in its infancy. Most of the
staffs working in it were volunteers, but they were very diligent. I do really
appreciate a lot.”
