Aired in 2000, the TVB drama Return of the Cuckoo was a beloved hit that moved Hong Kong audiences with its touching story of family, friendship & love in Macau. The series revitalized the career of Julian Cheung Chi Lam, who gave a memorable turn as the mute hero in love with his adoptive sister, & cemented then newcomer Charmaine Sheh as a leading lady. Fifteen years later, the original cast returns for the film sequel directed by Patrick Kong. Besides Cheung & Sheh, many other supporting cast members are back including Nancy Sit as the protagonists mother, Michael Tong as their wayward friend, & Steven Ma in a cameo appearance, while legendary Hong Kong actor Kent Tong & Taiwan actress Joe Chen ( Our Times) join the film in new roles.
After Kwan Ho (Charmaine Sheh) married & emigrated to the United States, Man Cho (Julian Cheung) continued with his life in Macau. He is busy as ever working as a tour guide & has developed a close bond with mute neighborhood friend Kiki (Joe Chen). In 1999 on the day of Macaus handover back to China, Kwan Ho (Charmaine Sheh) shows up out of the blue to join birthday celebrations for her mother (Nancy Sit). That night, she attempts to take her own life. Her husband & children had suddenly passed away in a car accident, & she has lost her will to live. With Man Chos support, Kwan Ho gradually heals & starts anew while also confronting new challenges & the ambiguous unspoken love that has tied them together all these years.
