Synopsis

Two women from opposite worlds… two paths that meet at the crossroads of belief and reality. A successful French businesswoman travels to China to introduce a new and lucrative process for the cremation of the dead, while a poor Chinese seamstress prepares to flee her small town to Hong Kong in search of a better life. Eve isn’t aware yet, but Li Yu seems to already know her… why? How? Their paths cross in the most unexpected way in the New Territories, a no man’s land in between the capitalist sprawl of Hong Kong and the hinterlands of a China still in the steely grip of the Cultural Revolution.
A fairy tale that unfolds in our modern world, where the rational and the irrational battle to win our souls.
