38 Degrees

The story took place in the spring of 2003. The young and beautiful stewardess returned after a small month flight and called a takeaway at home. The postgraduate student of the history department, Zhao Xiaotian, went to work and sent a takeaway. When he came to Xiaoyue’s home, Xiaoyue was shampooing and would not go downstairs, let him send the takeaway. At this time, just happened to encounter the suspected patient of SARS in the building where Xiaoyue lived, so the entire community was quarantined and Xiaotian could not go. A youthful and beautiful, a fascinating, two people who have never met each other suddenly become a room, isolated, a romantic and witty love story, so in this extraordinary period, very place can not be self-explanatory...

Directed by Xin Liu, 38 Degrees leans on a strong ensemble — Huang Lei, Tao Hong, Ng Ming-Choi — 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 comedy titles of 2003.
