A tale of friendship between two unlikely pen pals: Mary, a lonely,
eight-year-old girl living in the suburbs of Melbourne, and Max, a
forty-four-year old, severely obese man living in New York.
Jun arrives in Hong Kong from mainland China, hoping to be able to earn
enough money to marry his girlfriend back home. He meets the streetwise
Qiao and they become friends. As friendship turns into love, problems
develop, and although they seem meant for each other they somehow keep
missing out.
