Dreamtrips

Hong Kong-born Toronto resident Jenny (Jennifer Chan) is unnerved to the point of sleeplessness by the sudden disappearance of her fiancée Charles (Wayne Kwok). After overhearing a conversation, she enters Dreamtrips, a computer service that allows customers to travel into their own dream worlds. With the initial help of a guide, she wanders though empty cityscapes until she eventually happens upon her beau. Due to a systems crash, Jenny is abandoned in this virtual world which she does not know how to navigate.

Directed by Kal Ng, Dreamtrips leans on a strong ensemble — Jennifer Chan, Wayne Kwok, Paul Fonoroff — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1999.
