Mainland writer/director Li Yu teams with producer and screenwriter
Fang Li for this tale of money and love in the Chinese capitol. Lin
Dong (Tony Leung Ka-fai) is a resourceful entrepreneur from the
southern province of Guangdong who has risen through the ranks to
become the manager of the highly profitable Golden Basin Foot Massage
Parlor. The popular parlor is staffed by a group of attractive young
girls that includes Liu Pingguo (Fan Bingbing) and Xiaomei (Zeng
Meihuizi), two Guangdong natives who are also looking for a better life
in the big city. One night, after some heavy drinking, Dong takes
Pingguo up to his lavish apartment and awkwardly forces himself on the
girl as her window-cleaner husband Kun (Tong Dawei) watches in shock
from his harness outside. Later, when Pinggou discovers that she is
pregnant, Dong, his infertile wife Wang Mei (Elaine Jin), Kun, and the
mother-to-be all sit down together to sign contracts that will allow
Dong to adopt the child in exchange for a healthy chunk of change. The
airtight agreement slowly begins to unravel, however, when the child is
born and biological mother Pinggou realizes that giving up her child
simply isn't an option.
