Quick Synopsis
In a remote area of Hong Kong, away from the city's iconic skyline, a middle-aged housewife cares for her husband, who is confined to a wheelchair and has lost interest in their intimate relationship. Their household becomes more complicated when her young niece, known for her provocative style including thigh-high boots, comes to live with them. Meanwhile, a shy young neighbor harbors feelings for the housewife, and the local shopkeeper, a stout Korean actress, shows an unusual interest in the young niece. The story unfolds in this rural setting, exploring the complex relationships between these characters as it moves toward its inevitable conclusion.
Detailed Synopsis of Hidden Passion
There is hidden passion galore as a plain middle aged house wife looks after her wheel chair bound husband who has lost interest in sex. Her young slutty niece, who dresses provocatively wearing thigh high boots, comes to stay with them. There is a nerdy young neighbour who lusts after our Mrs Robinson and of course the ubiquitous local shop keeper who lusts after our young hero for some unknown reason and is a chunky Korean looking actress. The movie is set in the boondocks of HK away from the picturesque city towers that we come to associate with all HK crime melodramas and moves toward ts inevitable finale.
