Taxi driver Li Mi spends four years searching for her vanished lover, reciting his old letters to passengers each day. Her obsession collides with the fate of two country boys entangled in drug smuggling and a detective investigating a mysterious suicide.

This is more than a crime puzzle—it's a raw examination of how tightly we cling to ghosts, and what we become when they slip through our fingers.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Zhou Xun delivers one of Chinese cinema's most devastating performances. Her Li Mi is a vortex of rage, hope, and worn-out tenderness that electrifies every frame.

What lingers after the final reel is the film's haunting humanity—a reminder that within the coldest crime, the warmest, most broken hearts are still beating. It’s a gritty, poetic journey you won’t shake off easily. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Cao Baoping
