Is she taking the initiative or will she let him?
 
 Program Note
 Lei came to Beijing from Hong Kong with her boyfriend, Nam. Before arriving, they almost broke up because of Nam’s ex-girlfriend. Nam works for the design office while Lei has nothing special to do. Instead, she takes camera, walks the roads, interviews outsiders of Beijing, just like her. One day, Lei happens to meet a Bohemian Japanese. Lovers on the Road is a film about lovers who lost passion for each other and for some reason giving up faith on the other side. It might because of distrust of Nam, traumatic compensation, and weary life itself that she has the lure feelings for the Japanese guy. Lei floats in the unfamiliar environment lost in the direction of life. The Lost of direction, no objectiveness, burden of spending the given time up should all be pain but privilege of youth. As Lei makes simple recording of image and sound of Beijing, the director Jessey Tsang Tsui-Shan excludes any effect of encouraging epic moment or visual effects, took just like documentary. The film minimizes the plot, moves along the direction and line of character, and makes the things between them have their own stories by themselves. As the director says this film shows her own story, Lovers on the Road is a loosened but sophisticated portrait of Asian young generation who fully indulges in themselves, but waiving with no direction in love or work.
