Prolific screenwriter Erica Lee has chosen to adapt her own novel for her directorial debut, a moving tale of a terminally ill painter seeking just one perfect day. Mosaic (Cho-Lam Wong) is an artist with ALS. Attending a school reunion he sees Angelfish (Charlene Choi), whom he once had a crush on. Her life hasn’t quite turned out how she wanted and is currently in a relationship with a man who is unlikely to leave his wife. So, when Mosaic offers a romantic day out, with no strings attached and a guarantee of no physical contact. Angelfish doesn’t see any harm. But her date hasn’t just organised a few events – he’s created the day she always dreamed of. Shot by legendary cinematographer Christopher Doyle, Lee’s film is a lustrous romantic escape.
