by Yonfan null
EnglishDuring the politically charged 1960s, demonstrators clash with police in the streets of Hong Kong, and the charming literary student Ziming meets two enchanting women: divorced luxury goods merchant Mrs Yu, who fled Taiwan; and her 18-year-old daughter Meiling, who exudes an aura of irresistible magic. Animated conversations, magical visits to the cinema, and forbidden passions soon entangle Ziming in a complicated net of emotions. Works of art drawn on thousands of sheets of rice paper bring to life an atmospheric Hong Kong and the wild ‘60s in this sleek animated film. NO. 7 CHERRY LANE is Yonfan’s compelling love letter to Hong Kong, the cinema and freedom.
