This is a joint presentation by Bun Bites Screening and Chinese Cinema Project, marking the 10-year anniversary of its domestic release. The screening on 12 September will be followed by an online Q&A with the director Derek Tsang.
Set in the city, Soul Mate centers on a love-triangle between two women and one man. Due to a twist of fate, the two high school best friends fall in love with the same man, planting the seeds of tragedy. The story chronicles the coming of age journey of two very different young women, who choose different paths in life. July and Ansen are flip sides of the same coin; one is calm like water and the other is passionate like fire. Although they endure the rites of passage together, from youth to adulthood, their friendship may only persist in the form of a long goodbye, until they part forever.
