Chief editor of a local daily newspaper, Chow (Tony Leung) and his wife move into new accommodation in a building mainly inhabited by the Shanghai community.

He soon meets Li-zhen (Maggie Cheung) a very beautiful young woman who has also just moved in with her husband. She is a secretary in an export film, and her husband is a representative for a Japanese company, which means that he is often away on business trips.

As his own wife is often away from home, Chow spends more and more time in Li-zhen's company. As their landlords are good friends, they often meet for games of mahjong or to discuss the latest gossip. Chow and Li-zhen become friends but, one day, they are forced to face facts: their respective partners are having an affair...
