"See Lai" - that's Cantonese slang for the sorts of sloppily-dressed and no longer youthful housewives we see in supermarkets and beauty parlours everyday. Those newly middle-aged "aunties", barely noticed by her husbands, treated by their kids merely as nannies and housemaids, seem to be suffer from a loss of youthfulness, beauty, and passion with each passing day. Exactly when and why do these typical Hong Kong housewives, living in anonymous public housing estates, stop feeling as if they are beautiful? When do they stop wearing make-up or caring about the clothes they wear? When do they start specialising only in shopping in groceries, just worried about the price of eggs and apples at the vegetable market? Could the ancient and exotic art of belly dancing be their saviour? Or will it bring about their downfall, as their husbands and their entire communities revolt against this "indecent" dance?
