The Second Woman

Hui Bao and Hui Xiang (both played by Shu Qi), identical twin actresses, pursue theater stardom with different levels of success. Bao performs in a play written by her lover Nan (Shawn Yue), but when she falls ill, Xiang replaces her and seemingly outperforms her sister.

The sisters' complex relationship takes a dark turn when one of them mysteriously disappears, leaving everyone uncertain about which twin is missing.
