Enthralled (2014)

In the throbbing heart of Hong Kong, three childhood companions are drawn together, each bearing the weight of their own personal histories, steeped in the haunting echoes of the Tiananmen Square Massacre. Shing, Ka-Lok, and Adam reunite in a dimly lit bar, their life stories unfurling like a captivating screenplay packed with raw emotions and bitter memories. Adam, a Cambridge graduate and now a high-ranking official at a prominent bank, is ensnared in the glitz and glamour of Julie, a neglected socialite whose husband is too engrossed in his political ambitions. Their worlds collide, sparking a clandestine affair with consequences that threaten to unravel their lives. Meanwhile, Shing, with his boyish charm and suave demeanor, sets his sights on Linda, a wealthy divorcee. Motivated by desire, ambition, or perhaps both, he leverages her financial support to bring his entrepreneurial dreams to life, opening a stylish hair salon. In the process, he forms an unlikely bond with Linda's adolescent son, navigating the tricky terrain of adolescence and identity. Parallel to these intertwining narratives, Ka-Lok, a literature professor, ambles through the bustling labyrinth of Hong Kong, consumed by a melancholic quest to find his long-lost father. His brooding demeanor draws the attention of Snowy, one of his mainland students, though his deep-seated sorrow seems impenetrable, even to the most fervent of advances. As Ka-Lok spirals further into a world marred by despair, the others too find themselves on the precipice of their own personal abyss. "Enthralled" paints a compelling tapestry of life, love, and loss, exploring the entangled lives of its characters against the backdrop of a city pulsating with energy and teeming with secrets. It is a deep dive into the complexities of human relationships and the burdens of the past, masterfully interwoven with a narrative that is as intriguing as it is poignant.
