TEARS

Il veterano detective Kuo si occupa del caso di overdose e morte di una giovane ragazza. I superiori lo considerano un crimine da manuale  e lo esortano a concludere il caso, ma l’esperienza e il senso suggeriscono a Kuo di non farlo. Un’accurata indagine lo porta ad una studentessa vivace, Lai Chun Chun, la cui giovane e innocente apparenza è oscurata da un sentimento di rancore. E proprio quando Kuo è sul punto di una svolta, il suo oscuro passato viene svelato da Wen, un giovane commerciante di noci di betel.

Days approaching his sixtieth birthday, veteran Detective Kuo receives a new assignment involving the drug overdose and eventual death of a young girl. Departmental superiors see it as a textbook crime and urge him to conclude the case, but experience and sense tell Kuo otherwise. Thorough investigation leads him to a lively college girl, Lai Chun Chun, whose young and innocent appearance is shadowed by an indispensable grudge. Kuo’s uncompromising principles and refusal to close the case turn him into an outcast, isolated from colleagues and family. And just when Kuo is on the verge of a breakthrough, his own dark past is unveiled by Wen, a young street vendor. Do Kuo’s principles extend to his own misdeeds? Will justice prevail for the young addict? Kuo realizes he has one last chance to impose justice and find his own redemption.
