Gone with the Light

When people disappear in an inexplicable flash of light one morning in a small city in central China, ordinary couples start reevaluating their relationships. The plot thickens when it is revealed the mysterious disappearances are a countrywide occurrence, and maybe even a global phenomenon. Scientists struggle with the decidedly non-scientific theory that the vanished were people who were in love, leaving the rest behind. This mesmerizing debut is powered by the pitch perfect performances of a female-dominated cast, and anchored by a career-defining turn by lead actor Huang Bo.
