Wu, an attractive and successful ophthalmologist, places a personal ad in a newspaper to try to meet the Mr. Right she'll be able to marry. A succession of blind dates ensues, featuring men who are lonely, desperate, strange, perverted, or all of the above. From a tight-fisted businessman to a shy writer who brings his mother, to a shoe fetishist and a pimp looking for call girls, even a B-actor (in disguise) 'doing research,' Wu sees them all and patiently listens to their spiel. What they don't know is that Wu has a mysterious ex-lover who may (or may not) be the man she truly seeks. Honored at the Cannes Film Festival, The Personals' independent film Rene Liu gives a lustrous performance as Wu, the complicated and strong-willed woman navigating through a world of thwarted dreams and endless longing in this foreign film.
