三八新娘憨子婿 | Xin Qi | 1967 | 101 mins
A besotted couple plan to marry with both families’ blessings. But when it’s time to formalize the engagement they discover that thirty years earlier the boy’s father and the girl’s mother were romantically linked. As new love blossoms, an old love is rekindled. This zany 1960s romantic comedy defies traditional conventions.
