Lost Love

Mei is a woman working as a temporary foster carer. She takes children in need of care into her home. She began the work after a loss of her own. She had lost her young son. She tries to get past that pain through the children she takes in. Every child brings her a different difficulty. She comes to see the hardness of motherhood again through them. In time she gives herself over to the work. That dedication puts her marriage under strain. In the end she is left having to make a choice. The account is built on that choice. Sammi Cheng plays Mei, and Alan Luk and Hedwig Tam appear in Ka Sing-fung’s Hong Kong film of 2022, which runs ninety three minutes.
