Director Ann Hui and lead actress Si Qin Gao Wa will head for the festival at the film's global premiere. Lead actor Chow Yun-Fat and actress Zhao Wei would not attend the event because of a schedule conflict.

 

Based in modern Shanghai, the story is about a highly-educated woman's dramatic life after she retires.

 

Following the Toronto Film Festival, the movie has also been invited to participate in the Pusan Film Festival and the Tokyo Film Festival. It will open in Chinese cinemas at the end of this year.
