Tenacious and optimistic, Mini (Angelica Lee) is an acrobat at a Shanghai circus troupe. Having lost both her parents at a young age, Mini has never had a real family, and her greatest dream is to find a love that she can rely on, a love that will make her fly. Kang (Liu Ye) works at a music store called Go With the Flow, which just about sums up his aimless lifestyle. Raised in an overly strict family, Kang grew up into a rebellious young man who likes to challenge social norms. These two very different young people meet by chance in the bustle of modern Shanghai, and spark a story of pure love and vertigo as their confused worlds collide.

Sadly Over-hyped
Absolutely the worst movie.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
The beautiful Angelica Lee plays the title character, an acrobat in Shanghai who longs for love. A few men are interested in her, Chen (Zhang Yaoyang), who is her boss and video store clerk Ah Kang (Liu Ye). Mini falls for Ah Kang and at first it seems like a perfect choice. They have sweet moments together, they seem very happy together. However, he has a talent for picking pockets and gets caught stealing Chen's and goes to jail. Mini still loves him and visits him. The film, which started out as a romance, becomes more grim as time passes. The film was actually shot in Shanghai and makes good use of the skyline, especially at night. Ms. Lee has never been better and has probably never been prettier. She has beautiful dark eyes and a very sweet smile. Some of the scenes with her as the acrobat are great also. To tell you why I did not give this film a 9 or a 10 would be giving away the outcome of the film. If you're a fan of Ms. Lee, which I am, this film is definitely for you. If you like romance, this will hold your interest, even though its not necessarily a happy film. I do recommend it, it looks great and flows pretty well. Check it out.
