等待黎明
Director: Leung Po Chi
Starring: Chow
Yun Fat, Cecilia Yip
A tragic-romantic tale as well as a political
allegory of Hong Kong in transition, the story sets on the eve of the
Japanese invasion in 1941. Ha Yuk-Nam is the daughter of a rice
distributor. In her father's shop there is a part-time coolie, Yip
Kim-Fay; and a temperamental but honest young worker, Wong Hak-Keung.
The three young people soon become close
friends. Hak-Keung is in love with Yuk-Nam and wants to marry her. Yet
Yuk-Nam's father opposes the marriage because Hak-Keung is a penniless
worker. The young couple soon decide to flee to Mainland China with
Kim-Fay. The trouble is, they'll have to make it out before the Japanese
invade Hong Kong...
