After his Turbulent Stream trilogy, novelist Ba Jin’s Love Trilogy novels have also been adapted for the screen and combined into a single film by director Tso Kea. In ‘Fog’, the man falls for a woman who is often vague and indecisive. In ‘Rain’, he meets a woman who is brash and impulsive. In ‘Lightning’, he finally meets a woman with the nearly perfect personality. Through the portrayal of one man’s relationships with three women, the film explores an eternal conflict that is faced by all young people: What happens when reality doesn’t meet your ideals?
