Mr Chow and Mrs Chan cross paths in Wong Kar Wai’s matchless portrait of a quiet but passionate sensuality. The cinematography, the acting and the music make us experience profound and unspeakable feelings.

The invisible dance is danced by Mr Chow (Tony Leung) and Mrs Chan (Maggie Cheung), who happen to be neighbours in an apartment building in Hong Kong in 1962. When they find out their respective spouses have lovers, the two find comfort in each other’s arms. Passions run high but are kept in check.
