A prostitute makes her way to a hotel. She tells her client waiting inside that it's the usual fee but she is in a hurry as she has a dinner date. The customer hands her 1000 yuan and leaves... "I can't make love in a hurry". And so the film begins and you are lost in "Lost in Beijing".
In the background you have smog filled and congested Beijing with its hustle and bustle. In the foreground you have two couples entangled in a web of sex and deceit with a streak of dark comedy cutting through it. A brilliant follow up to Dam Street by Yu Li.
