A documentary following Wong Kar-wai and his cast and crew through the production of his 2000 film In the Mood for Love.

In 1962 Hong Kong, neighbors Su Li-zhen (Mrs. Chan) and Chow Mo-wan (Mr. Chow) discover their spouses are having an affair. As they spend time together, they develop feelings for each other, but their relationship remains chaste and unspoken, reflecting societal constraints and their own moral compass.

Edited from never-before-seen footage, this short film unveils rare scenes of Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung in roles vastly different from their iconic lovers. The first Asian film NFT offered at international auction houses, this unique artwork celebrates the first day of production for the acclaimed 2000 film, offering a glimpse into the creative process behind the masterpiece. As Wong Kar Wai cites, "Every thought consists of ninety flashes, and within each flash lives nine hundred sparks and extinguishments." This NFT eternalizes that first spark, marking a historic moment in Asian cinema.

Set in a convenience store, this short film was originally intended as the third segment of Wong Kar-wai’s unrealized anthology film Three Stories About Food. It is now considered the prototype for My Blueberry Nights (2007).
