Lover’s Discourse melds together a series of relationships and the tales of love and loss… we see lovers indulge in the discourse of flirting with the ones who makes our hearts flutter and fighting against the conventions of love. The film will portray bittersweet segments of couples and family members and close friends going through various stages of love and betrayal and redemption.

Mr Lai and his still attractive wife, lead an uncomplicated life with their son, Sam. Often, they would invite Paul, Sam’s best friend to their home for dinners. All four of them have secrets in their hearts that would ultimately betray the peace and decorum of the household…

A young girl manning a laundry shop, Gigi, has a crush on her good-looking customer Sam. Going through the pocket of Sam’s clothes, she builds her fantasy world around the items she finds and we are drawn into the charming and slightly kitsch world of Gigi and Sam’s relationship as imagined by her…

Nancy and Ray are strolling in the park while waiting to go back to their homes and respective partners… they are reminiscing about the good times spent in Japan together some years back and tension slowly builds up to a confession that they both are still on love with each other…

Out of the blue, Paul receives a MSN message from a girl asking him if he knew of Nancy’s infidelity. He meets up with Kay and together they nurse their broken hearts and indulge in an act of revenge that would unravel more pain but ultimately a chance of redemption to forgive and move on…

In our quest for true love, for the one most beloved in our hearts, we may do all that we can to be with the person we love but sometimes, what we don’t know is that the one we are looking for is the person who is always by our side already…

Alternative:
Reuniting with a long-lost sweetheart provokes the nascent sense of love, the now-faded memory of heartbreaks, and odd discoveries of belonging to others. ‘Lover’s Discourse’ tells a cliché love story in an irresistibly sweet language. It shows us a multitude of hopes and the desperation of blind love, strange distances between partners, and a double affair. The story soon leads to the tangled threads of suspicion, jealousy, betrayal, and hatred.
