Impressive debut by Director, Zhang Mo. Tells of a story of a 28yo girl Ni Ni who gave up her art career and living in adulation of her boyfriend found that he lost interest in her as he was too busy chasing his own career. A chocolate transported Ni Ni back to her 17yo mind where she fell in love with young daring Darren. But the magic chocolate only lasts 5 hours each time. In her 17yo mind, Ni Ni found the joy and freedom to paint. But each time she starts to enjoy her 17yo carefree trip, she crashed back to her 28yo despair and dependence. Will she find her inner passion and joy to paint again? Will she find her own self, confidence and identity? Who will she choose? The daring carefree young Darren or steady successful executive Wallace?
A sweet and meaningful movie. The message is strong and clear and I absolutely love the colourful scenes throughout the movie! Nini acting is good, alternating between 17 & 28, and there’s various funny moments during that change.
Wallace looks absolutely gorgeous and the last scene is definitely memorable!
