Lost for Words 2013

Amid the sweeping cityscape of cosmopolitan Hong Kong, ANNA ZHOU (Grace Huang), a dancer from Beijing meets MICHAEL VANCE (Sean Faris), a decorated ex-Marine now IT specialist.

Hailing from the prestigious Beijing Dance Academy, Anna is determined to make her mark in the world of modern ballet. Unlike her best friend and fellow dancer MEI MEI (Joman Chiang), Anna is cautious with relationships and has taken a vow of chastity.

After a rocky start, Michael befriends co-worker STANFORD LAU (Will Yun Lee), another computer specialist. With Stanford’s assistance, Michael navigates the competitive business world by applying his skills as a warrior. At the same time, Michael hopes the new city and his demanding work schedule will ease the pain of a recent break-up.

Michael and Anna’s paths cross and a platonic friendship is struck. Michael assists Anna with her English while she teaches him Chinese.

Through these language lessons and their Hong Kong adventures, Michael, without realizing it, finds a new lease on life. Slowly the wall around his heart begins to crack.

Meanwhile, the premiere of Anna’s pivotal solo performance nears. Anna begins to doubt her abilities and seeks solace from her mentor, the dashing Ballet Master VICTOR YOUNG (Terence Yin).

On the day, Anna’s dance solo overwhelms Michael’s unrecognized resistance to the love she offers. Love blossoms.

At Michael’s insistence, the couple journey to Anna’s village home in Mainland China during Chinese New Year, an important time for all wayward travelers to re-unite with their families.

This fateful journey breaks the lovers apart. Will love survive?
