| Zusammenfassung: | It is the summer of 1999 - Macau is to be returned to China. Since statesmen want to make a good impression when the hand over takes place, they lead a campaign against the dominating corruption in the country. Shing (Chapman To) is one of the many policemen who is being investigated. Temporarily suspended, he lives from one day to the next in a run-down apartment and finds pleasure in having a different prostitute every day. However, one morning he wakes up and finds the girl Yan (Isabella Leong) in his apartment. She tells him that she is actually his daughter, whom he didn't even know he had! Yan enters Shing's life, because her mother died of lung cancer. She can't pay her rent anymore and therefore has been kicked out of her flat. Moreover, she is desperately looking for her dog Isabella. Shing helps out Yan and takes care of her from that day on. The two get closer, and soon a father-daugher relationship unfolds. Shing and Yan spend some nice weeks together, whereas Shing is always reminded of his first girlfriend, Yan's mother, by his daughter's face. Still, Shing knows that he most likely has to face a prison sentence. Should he flee the country with his daughter? And more importantly, did he really spend the night with Yan? "Isabella" is a character-driven drama about love in its many forms. It's also about loss and regret. The movie attracted international attention when it won the Silver Bear Award for best film score at the Berlin Filmfestspiele in 2006. [www.asianmovieweb.com] |
