from the HIFF.org website
Set in Beijing, this film is a window into modern Chinese youth culture. WAITING ALONE is a coming-of-age tale about Wen, an antique shop co-owner and aspiring author, who's met the perfect girl. But no matter how close he and the girl become, he just doesn't understand why she won't fall for him. Aided by his best friends and the one girl he completely trusts, he tries different ways to woo her, playing along within the "rules of the game."
Directed by Chinese-American filmmaker Dayyan Eng, the film features Chinese film stars Xia Yu, Gong Beibi and Li Bingbing and a cameo from international superstar Chow Yun-Fat. Excellent reviews and strong word-of-mouth made this independent film a big hit in China where it was embraced by young audiences. Nominated for three 2005 Chinese Academy Awards (Golden Rooster Awards), including Best Picture, the first time a foreign director was nominated in this category.
hope that helped cuz the HIFF is going on right now!
