Adapted from Elton Lau-Ho Cheung's award-winning script at the Hong Kong Drama Awards, this one-act play begins when a matchmaking agency famed for its "100% success rate" sees two clients abruptly thrown off script. A young man, pressured by family expectations, confesses a long-hidden love for another man. A successful, controlling woman confronts the fracture beneath her perfect marriage. Drawn into a private room, they face interrogation from a mysterious voice that seems to know their secrets. Under the unblinking camera, their social masks crack. Performed in Cantonese with English surtitles.
