The lovers in the age of indifference are tough romantics from\nevery corner of the planet: a marriage splinters during a game of\nmah jong; a depressed fiancee is lifted by a mid-air encounter with\na Hollywood legend; a mountain keeper watches over a lonely temple\nbut is perturbed when, finally, a visitor dares to arrive.In this\nengagingly maverick collection of stories, writer and filmmaker Guo\nzooms into tender and surreal moments in the lives of lost souls\nand lovers, adrift between West and East. Her personal, provocative\nand charming fables capture the sense of alienation thrown up by\nlife in the modern world, and we join her characters in their\nsearch for human contact – and love – in rapidly-changing\nlandscapes all around the globe.
