Comrades, Almost a Love Story

Directed by Peter Chan Ho-Sun
This is not so much a story about people falling in love, but rather of two young hearts trying their best not to fall in love with each other.

Jun arrives in Hong Kong from mainland China, hoping to be able to earn enough money to marry his girlfriend back home. He meets the streetwise Qiao and they become friends. As friendship turns into love, problems develop, and although they seem meant for each other they somehow keep missing out.
