Report
Break Up Club director Barbara Wong and writer-producer Lawrence Cheng are back to break your heart with The Allure of Tears. Featuring Richie Jen, Gigi Leung, Aarif Lee (Echoes of the Rainbow), idol-drama queen Joe Chen, and Under the Hawthorn Tree new stars Shawn Dou and Zhou Dongyu, the poignantly romantic melodrama consists of a trilogy of standalone tales about life, dreams, and the often futile pursuit of happiness. Though they vary in tone and theme, the subtly connected storylines wield enough emotional power to drive home the message - cherish your loved ones before it's too late.

a mother falls to the ground in shock. I think she fainted, but she does convulse on the ground.

lots of things happen to lots of people. I'm using the term "torture" liberally, as in lots of people suffer all kinds of atrocities at the hands of other humans. there is no specific scene where someone is repeatedly tortured for information, punishment, or any other reason.

one of them is the child, and the other is a woman who is thrown out of a window and her broken body is shown--the child is not shown.

there are sudden, loud sounds amongst quiet/silent scenes, but if you watch for the movements, you're able to see them coming beforehand.
