Summer Snow (女人 四十), Ann Hui, 1995

The Suns are a typical Hong Kong family: May, fortysomething, works for a trading company; her husband, Bing, works as a lowgrade civil servant, and Allen, their teenage son, is still at school. Trouble strikes one day when Bings mother dies of a stroke, leaving her husband old Mr. Sun. Alzheimers Disease is diagnosed. From that day on, the familys daily life is thrown into a poignant.
