*Synopsis

Set in the early 1960s, the film centres on the handsome young man, Yuddy (Ah Fei), who is an immigrant from Shanghai. Having been adopted since early childhood, Yuddy has never met his biological mother. As affected by unresolved childhood issues, Yuddy has been ruthless to all the women that he has ever come across in life, including his two girlfriends, Su Lizhen and Mimi, whom he had dumped one after another. With a strong obsession towards his biological mother, Yuddy has determined to head to the Philippines to meet her. Unfortunately, his mother refused to see him. On surface, Yuddy is an irreverent person. But there is in fact great tenderness in his heart - he has never forgotten the "one-minute romance" with Su Lizhen, not even at the very last moment of his life.
