Chinese Box Page #6

Synopsis: John is an English photojournalist who has spent over a decade in Hong Kong; his friend Jim often crashes in his cramped apartment. John's unrequited love is Vivian whom he aches for but has not the nerve to possess. Concurrent with England's transfer of Hong Kong back to the Chinese, John discovers that he has a rare form of leukemia and has only months to live. So John, Jim, and the disfigured proto-hippy Jean grab a digital video camera and prowl the streets, seeking to document the "real" Hong Kong one last time.

Jenny again?

Vivian:
No.

Don't think so.

Well if you see her,

will you thank her for me?

... into one of the leading cities

and one of the greatest

trading economies in the world.

Hi!

The last gasp of air!

Colonial air, come on,

you must take a breath of this!

Arms up!

The Army Guard of Wales

are retired!

About!

Turn!

John:
Out of your life

you give me a moment.

Me sure that

in spite of the past,

and in spite

of the future,

this tick of our lifetime's

one moment you love me.
