Movie review by: Alvin James
Click here for pictures 

Starring: Takeshi Kaneshiro, Gigi Leung, Karen Mok.
Produced by John Chong, Solon So.
Directed by Sylvia Chang.

In this romantic drama, Sylvia Chang plays a character very close to herself, a film maker working with a writer on a movie about first love. The tale is told in flash-back with the bright moment of romance between two shy youngsters, Ho-Jun (Takeshi Kaneshiro) and Sheo-Rou (Gigi Leung). Ho-Jun (Takeshi) is a shy youngster, who is more interested in his guitar rather than school. A chance encounter between Ho-Jun and Sheo-Rou (Gigi) leads to their first sweet taste of romance. Caught between them is Sheo-Rou's best friend, Chen Li (Karen Mok).

An innocent adventure turns sour, when Sheo-Rou's mother discovers that the young couple have spent the night together at a hotel. Though nothing untoward actually occured, pressure is placed upon both Ho-Jun and Sheo-Rou, and they eventually go their seperate ways. Sheo-Rou turns to Chen Li for support, only to find that her friend's feelings for her runs deeper than she ever realised.

Years later, Ho-Jun and Sheo-Rou are reunited, temporarily in Japan. Ho-Jun works as a travel guide and Sheo-Rou as a buyer for a fashion firm. They enjoy brief moments of romance, which ends when Sheo-Rou discovers that Ho-Jun is married. She then returns to Hong Kong, and becomes engaged herself. Ho-Jun returns to Hong Kong to make one last attempt to win Sheo-Rou, telling her that he has already divorced, but it is too late. As Ho-Jun leaves Tokyo, the two promise to remain friends.

It is years later, that Cheryl or also known as Sheo-Rou finds out that Ho-Jun's wife was actually Chen-Li. She finds this out only after Chen Li has died. Chen Li leaves a message behind for Cheryl, asking her for forgiveness. Cheryl prepares to fly back to Hong Kong to be with her family, Cheryl recives a final present from Ho-Jun. Inside the box, are photographs, each taken while Ho-Jun was thinking about Sheo-Rou, of their brief and bright moments of happiness.
