Red Rose White Rose with Stanley Kwan (Filmmaker), Isabel Sandoval (Moderator)

Chronicles the love life of a man, Zhenbao. He has a steamy fling with the wife of a friend, the saucy and exciting Red Rose. Even though he feels happy with her, he knows he will not end up with her. To maintain his reputation, he marries an antiseptic, frigid but classy lady of a prim and proper background. Dissonance abound when he finds his bride irritating.
