When a frustrated musician from Hong Kong makes a reluctant trip to Vancouver to reunite with his accomplished but lonely emigrant wife, he inadvertently strikes up a relationship with a former singer who has just broken up with the owner of a backwater bed and breakfast.

Lunch with Charles is an engaging romantic comedy set on a spectacular journey from Hong Kong to the Canadian Rockies in the aftermath of Hong Kong’s historic return to China. Lau Ching Wan makes his North American debut with a hilarious performance of a man torn between loves in this bitter-sweet look at miscommunication, conflicting ambitions and long-distance relationships.
