Synopsis
This unusual film presents a privileged view of a highly-talented double act: Vincent, a Hong Kong Chinese entrepreneur with a need to succeed and Mart, a New York banker with global know-how, are scrutinised by Chinese officials as they try to buy the perfect run-down state enterprise - to take advantage of Hong Kong's reunification and Deng Xiao Ping's capitalist road. Throughout this quest, Vincent - like Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark - has the long shadow of his father looming over him.
