At the local hospital, Jiang, a handsome nurse’s aide, takes an interest in the foreigner and the two develop a wordless bond.

Looks stunningly beautiful...nervous about this one though. I have found that Asian films usually have very depressing endings AND it will have subtitles and I miss so much of the movie when I am trying to read the subtitles...

it's from Hong Kong so maybe it's in English, but yes, don't trust the ending (I'm still burned by Bangkok Love Story (2007))

Tell me about it. Another pretty pretty film and then that frigging ending! You watch this one and let us know!

All movie trailers should come without that annoying talking in the foreground and be just as pleasant. :)
