Mystery

Running time: 98 mins

Is it radical revenge or an accident? Ju Lie, a mild-mannered woman with one daughter, is married to businessman Yongzhao. Leading a seemingly routine life, her world flips upside down when she spots her husband entering a hotel with another woman. This love triangle takes a turn for the worst when the other woman is struck by a car on the highway, just hours later. In the hazy smog of Wuhan, China, the police wonder if her death was truly an accident. Taken from a woman's real-life accounts about her unfaithful husband in 2009, this acclaimed Cannes Film Festival participant reveals a beautiful and violent story, echoing the universal problems with money, corruption, and morality. - Kristy Yip
