Synopsis

Long and Lin, both once professional dancers in China, now live in Sydney, Australia. Long lives a lonely existence. Unable to continue his career as a dancer, his life is dominated by the memories of his past success. Lin strives to live in the present, discarding any trace of her past life. When confronted by Long she denies any knowledge of their past friendship. To her, he is just another stranger who visits the brothel she works in.
