Episodes from the legend and music from the opera are woven into a contemporary story about devotion and betrayal. In search of perfect love, the modern heroine becomes inspired by her counterpart in the legend, Fok Siu-yuk, who selflessly followed the stoney path of love for her lover Lee Yik. A modern love epic fusing drama, storytelling, music and songs, The Liaisons features a star-studded creative team that includes award-winning screenwriters Alan Mak and Felix Chong (Infernal Affairs), composer Leon Ko and Oscar-winning designer Tim Yip (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and well-known actors Tse Kwan-ho, Josie Ho, Lam Kam-tong and Amy Wu.
