Synopsis
A wealthy Hong Kong housewife, Anna, lives a spoiled, bored life. When her husband suddenly leaves, taking the money and prestige with him, she refuses to accept her changed circumstances. Her chauffeur, Fai, who lives in an ugly barrack across the border in Shenzhen, is trying to get his wife—whose second pregnancy is a violation of the Chinese one-child policy—over the border so she can give birth in Hong Kong.

MistahDarcy's Personal Movie Collection
Just a nice list of all of the movies I currently own so that I can see everything together in a nice big view and fix bad posters and 100% movie info. I have a lot of really good stuff, and also a lot of terrible stuff which I only own for the purposes of collecting. Don't take this list as a movie recommendations page! Unless you're daring... :)
