'The Story of 90 Coins' by Michael Wong: Within the span of about 9 minutes, 'The Story of 90 Coins' spins the age-old yarn of love with efficiency and sleek artistry. It is a love that begins with a romantic and dreamy sentiment, of a man who dedicates ninety days of his life to convince a woman to marry him, and eventually, this romanticised love is pit against the uncompromising twists and turns of life and the changing dynamics in relationships. What is captured here are the ups and downs of love through the lens of romantic nostalgia, and with the film's stunning cinematography and confident performances, it may well touch its viewers' hearts.
