Meng ying tong nian

The story is set into motion by a disastrous encounter: delivery man Dabing, done with the day's deliveries, crashes while racing to the movie theatre on his bike. As he's picking himself up, a pretty young woman named Ling Ling hits him on the head with a brick for no apparent reason. In the hospital, Dabing learns that Ling Ling is also being treated-- in the psychiatric unit. When he confronts her, Ling Ling asks him to go to her home to feed her fish. Intrigued by this strange request (and more than a little smitten by her beauty), Dabing does so and discovers that Ling Ling's apartment is a virtual shrine to the movies, filled with posters, stills and memorabilia. He also finds her extraordinary diary and begins to read the stories of a little girl's passion for the movies, which reminiscent his own. (texte officiel du distributeur)
