2046
Opening in the year 2046, in which a man named Tak (Takuya Kimura) attempts to persuade wjw1967 (Faye Wong) to travel back in time with him, the film soon shifts to the year 1966 in which Chow Mo-Wan (Tony Leung Chiu-wai), a struggling author, asks the woman he loves, Su Li-Zhen (Gong Li) to sail with him from Singapore to Hong Kong on Christmas Eve. She declines, and over the next three years, we return to Chow Mo-Wan on December 24 as he finds himself with another woman each year: lighthearted Lulu (Carina Lau) in 1967, eccentric hotel heiress Wang Jing Wen (Faye Wong) in 1968, and high-class prostitute Bai Ling (Zhang Ziyi) in 1969.
In time, Chow Mo-Wan and Wang Jing Wen become re-acquainted, and a love affair blooms, but the fates are not on their side...
