Summary As China prepares to take control of Hong Kong in 1997, a Hong Kong Chinese family disperses around the world. Mr and Mrs Chan (Edwin Pang and Cecilia Fong Sing Lee), and two teenage sons, follow their second daughter Bing (Annie Yip) to a large and sterile house in the suburbs of a major Australian city. Bing has been in Australia for seven years, but the loneliness has made her nervous and bitter. Her older sister Yen (Annette Shun Wah) lives in Germany, with her German husband Michael (Julian Pulvermacher) and daughter Miu Miu (Claudette Chua). They are about to buy a new house when Yen decides she wants to move to Australia, to be near her family. In Hong Kong, elder brother Gar Ming (Anthony Wong) is reluctant to follow his parents. He's making money and enjoying his affair with a beautiful young Canadian Chinese girl. Back in Australia, Bing's relentless authoritarianism forces her parents to buy their own house. When they move, Bing has a nervous breakdown. Mrs Chan prays to the ancestors for help
