Look for a Star
Can they live happily ever after if this secret gets out?
Directed by Andrew Lau Wai-Keung
Produced by Media Asia Films, Basic Pictures
A romantic drama built on class-crossing love and a buried secret, balancing warmth and playfulness against the tension of inevitable revelation.
Wealthy construction mogul Sam Ching and cabaret dancer Milan Sit fall madly in love with one another despite the class differences that would keep many couples apart. However, what Sit doesn't know is that Ching is the man responsible for razing a building representing cherished memories from her childhood.
