Angie Chen (Maybe It's Love) offers a rebuke to the colonial imagination of The World of Suzie Wong (1960) with the story of Shui-Mei, a “salt water girl” from the outskirts of Hong Kong, who finds a way out of poverty in the Red Light district of Wan Chai.

Ten-year-old Marble witness a murder in Angie Chen's Shaw Brothers debut: a rich ensemble drama, part comedy of manners, part Nancy Drew-esque twist on Rear Window, with a dash of the erotic thriller in the mix.
