Helmed by actor-turned-director Derek Tsang ( Lacuna ) and produced by Peter Chan, Soul Mate garnered 12 nominations at the 36th Hong Kong Film Awards and won dual Best Actress prizes for Zhou Dongyu and Ma Sichun at the 53rd Golden Horse Awards. Based on a short story by Chinese novelist Qing Shan, the poignant drama movingly follows the complex friendship and emotional journeys of two women from adolescence to adulthood. Ma Sichun and Zhou Dongyu deliver luminous performances as best friends of contrasting personalities who purposely take very different paths, but life leads them back to each other. Ansen (Zhou Dongyu) is tasked by her boss to track down the author of a serialized online novel that appears to be written by her friend July (Ma Sichun) with whom she is no longer in contact. The novel documents Ansen and July's friendship, starting at age 13 when they meet and become immediate best friends. In high school, the quiet and reserved July begins dating boy-next-door Jiaming (Toby Lee, A Touch of Green ), who also seems to share a secret bond with the free-spirited and outspoken Ansen. After high school, Ansen hits the road, drifting from place to place and job to job, while July stays in her hometown with the intentions of marrying Jiaming someday. Through the years of separation and reunion, Ansen and July remain each other's closest friends, but an unspoken tension simmers beneath over their unsettled lives and their respective relationships with Jiaming.
