玻璃少女

　　迷幻少女遇着过气公安老头，未必是猫捉老鼠累斗累，也可以是从老前辈身上学会认识自己。阿 P 为追阿初欠她的债，偶然与阿初的外公相遇，两个生活态度南辕北辙的人，就是这样在荒谬的处境中相互学习。阿P在当中看见年青一代的无奈：十六岁的迷途青春、爱情的无助、软性毒品的蚕食、面对父母失败的婚姻、自己浑噩的前途....阿初无故失踪，又是否因抵受不了同样残酷的青春？世情像玻璃，有时看得透，有时不，相同的只是：两者同样冰冷易碎。 　　The second feature from Hong Kong indie director Carol Lai is about the vulnerability of youth, made even more fragile by the vulnerable world of the adults. Grandpa Wu used to be a policeman in Mainland China and has now retired to a life of seclusion on an outlying island. One day, her daughter calls him up and reports that his granddaughter Ah Cho is again missing. The old man hits the road again, in search of the young girl. Then P, Ah Chos best friend, emerges out of nowhere and heads Wus search, leading the old man into a series of strange encounters in the uncharted world of frustrated youth. 　　Source: 25th HKIFF (2001)
