They discover that their respective spouses are having an affair with one another. What follows is not a story of revenge, but a delicate dance of shared grief and simulated betrayal. They roleplay as their spouses to understand how the affair began, and in doing so, they fall in love. Yet, bound by a moral code of "not being like them," they refuse to consummate their own relationship.
The short film is a 9-minute coda to Wong Kar-wai's 2000 masterpiece . Originally conceived as the "dessert" portion of an unrealized anthology film titled Three Stories About Food , it features Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung as different characters in a modern-day setting. Plot Summary
