The lovers in the age of indifference are tough romantics from every corner of the planet: a marriage splinters during a game of mah jong; a depressed fiancee is lifted by a mid-air encounter with a Hollywood legend; a mountain keeper watches over a lonely temple but is perturbed when finally a visitor dares to arrive. In this engagingly maverick collection of stories writer & filmmaker Guo zooms into tender & surreal moments in the lives of lost souls & lovers adrift between West & East. Her personal provocative & charming fables capture the sense of alienation thrown up by life in the modern world & we join her characters in their search for human contact
- & love
- in rapidly-changing landscapes all around the globe.
