Nevertheless, from the perspective of someone unfamiliar with the real lives of the two doctors, it is the cinematic quality that I find myself commenting on.Īfter passing her medical exams, young student Joanna Tse enters the profession while also keeping in contact with her former tutor Albert Lai.

Those familiar with the real-life story may already know the outcome of this touching biopic and will perhaps be more able to comment on the film’s authenticity. Though based on the life of self-sacrificing doctor Joanna Tse and her work during Hong Kong’s tragic SARS crisis, the main focus is on Tse’s loving relationship with her husband Albert.
