Film Description
When facing a path with no future or precedent success, will we ever choose to stay?

In the tradition of Cantonese Opera, a representative male Dan(female role) never exists. However, the achievement of Ms. YAM Kim-fai's male impersonation has established the convention of female actress playing Sheng(male role) which then, becomes the mainstream of Cantonese Opera.

In Hong Kong, two young men: TAM Wing-lun, and WONG Hau-wai, both fascinated by the art of male Dan,have been striving to find an alternative way in the realm of Cantonese Opera. As time goes by, can their perseverance withstand the challenge of mainstream tradition?

Would these two adventurers struggle less had there ever been a MEI Lan-fang (an iconic Peking Opera male Dan) in the history of Cantonese Opera?

電影簡介
當知道前面的路是沒有將來，沒有成功的例子，我們還會選擇走下去嗎？

粵劇從過去發展至今，在香港並沒有出現過一個有代表性的男花旦；而任劍輝反串的成功，更讓女性演生角成為粵劇的傳統與主流。兩個從小醉心男花旦的香港青年—譚穎倫與王侯偉，努力在粵劇界裡逆流而行。隨著時間流逝，他們對男花旦的堅持，還能否承受傳統與主流的衝擊？

若梅蘭芳是一個粵劇演員，他們的路又會否像現在如此難走？
