            this sea root is no urchin

            This movie has different story line, coupled with good acting, make it a true gem. A family purchases a girl from the mainland to help out with chores on the fishing junk. Her intentions are to get to Hong Kong and find a past love. She and Lau Ching Wan, whose parents own the fishing boat, are the main actors and carry the story. The supporting cast (all are excellent) and their interweaving into the films fabric make this a highly enjoyable movie. One I can comfortably recommend to everyone.
