Shang Hai zhi yen

A comedy of absurd. A romance story woven into a historic motif that reminds of the hardships of the post war society. The struggle for money and the pure need to survive are a background of the love triangle that develops into solidarity, a kind of a sisterhood that gives way to what was supposed to take place, according to the best rules of this genre.

A man meets a woman and they hide beneath the bridge with the start of the war and bombardment of their city. He promises to meet her under the same bridge after the war is over. Time passes by, and life brings them close. As 10 years have passed it's almost impossible for them to recognize each other.

The film offers to remember to smile, laugh and have fun even in the toughest times. It's a joyful time spent and a brilliant script shot in a very theatrical way reminiscent of the Hollywood in the 50s.
