In 1960s Hong Kong, newspaper editor Zhou Mu-yun (played by Tony Leung) and his wife move into an apartment mainly inhabited by Shanghai residents, becoming neighbors with Mr. Chen, a trade representative for a Japanese company, and his wife Su Lizhen (played by Maggie Cheung). After discovering that their respective spouses are having affairs while working outside, Zhou Mu-yun and Su Lizhen begin to meet to discuss the possible outcomes and corresponding strategies. Initially, their relationship is one of gentlemen keeping things cordial and impersonal, but as the days pass and with the gossip of their Shanghai neighbors around them, they find themselves consumed by thoughts of each other's spouses, leaving only each other in their eyes. The intended avoidance of their growing feelings leads to deeper longing.
