In the Mood for Love Cantonese

In Hong Kong in the 1960s, newspaper editor Chow Mo-wan (Tony Leung) (played by Maggie Cheung) moved into an apartment with mostly Shanghainese residents, and became neighbors with Mr. Chen, a trade representative of a Japanese company, and his wife Su Lizhen (played by Maggie Cheung). Because they discovered that their spouses working outside the home were having extramarital affairs behind their backs, Chow Mo-Wan and Su Lizhen began to meet to discuss what might happen in the future and the corresponding countermeasures. At first, the two of them were gentlemen and talked about matters as lightly as water. However, as the days passed, and among the gossips of a bunch of Shanghai neighbors around them, they found that the matter of their spouses had long been emptied out of their minds, and they only had each other in their eyes. The result of deliberately avoiding the feelings that had arisen was an even more profound lovesickness.
