- Synopsis:
Edward Yang's multi-award-winning film looks at several turbulent weeks in the life of the Jian family. Husband and father NJ (Nien-Jen Wu) is a partner in a failing software company, which might just save itself by teaming up with an innovative Japanese games designer. Meanwhile his wife Min-Min (Elaine Jin) has gone off to a mountain retreat with a dubious guru, his teenage daughter Ting Ting (Kelly Lee) is getting her first, rough lessons in love, his young son Yang-Yang (Jonathan Chang) is asking difficult questions and getting into trouble at school - and his mother-in-law has suffered a stroke and lies in a coma. In the middle of all the confusion NJ runs into his childhood sweetheart Sherry, the girl he jilted twenty years earlier, and starts to wonder about starting over. - Actors:

Reviews (1) of A One and a Two
Quality, realistic domestic drama. - A One and a Two review by Steve
Very long, detailed film tells the story of an ordinary family and how they react to their daily trials. A domestic drama, with a non professional cast in which the director's disinterested camera slowly reveals a rare insight and profundity; and arouses our deep empathy for the fears and hopes of all of the family.
