Synopsis:

In the sultry heat of 1929 French-colonial Vietnam, a young, unnamed 15½-year-old French girl (Jane March) from a poor but aristocratic family begins an illicit and deeply emotional affair with a wealthy 32-year-old Chinese man (Tony Leung Ka-fai), the son of a rich Saigon businessman.

They meet on a ferry crossing the Mekong River—she, in a felt hat and worn silk dress; he, in a chauffeured limousine. Drawn to one another despite the vast gulf in age, class, and race, their relationship begins as a mutual, if forbidden, escape: for him, from societal expectations; for her, from poverty and family dysfunction.

Their affair unfolds in secret, largely within the confines of his luxurious apartment in Saigon, where passion intensifies and boundaries blur. What begins as a physical relationship slowly becomes more emotionally charged, even as both understand that their union is doomed by cultural constraints and social prejudice.

Meanwhile, the girl grapples with her troubled family: an unstable mother, a domineering older brother, and her longing for independence and identity. As her lover prepares for an arranged marriage to a woman of his own class, their final parting becomes a haunting, melancholic memory she carries into adulthood.

The story is narrated from the perspective of the woman years later, reflecting on this formative and tragic chapter of her youth.
