Program Note
Sanlian, separated from her husband for years, is informed of her husband′s death. Surprisingly, however, she finds out that the person her husband names as beneficiary of his insurance is not her or her own son. A handsome man with deadly attraction, Jay, is the beneficiary of her husband′s insurance money. Sanlian’s young son, who she believed to be on her side, does not hate Jay, On the contrary, the son goes back and forth between his mother and Jay, meditating their meetings. Sanlian’s battle to regain the right to the insurance money turns into a desperate struggle to ensure that her dead husband loved her most. The original title in Chinese is Who He Loved First? In this original title, there is a storm of emotional confrontation between the two to win the love of one person and the hurt. Anyone who has ever loved will know the fact that the one who is loved is not necessarily the one who is loved first. This film recalls various passages from Barthes’ A Lover’s Discourse. (Sung Jihae)
