The Equation of Love and Death tells the story of Li Mi (played by Zhou Xun), a Kunming cab driver who longs for the day she can be reunited with her missing boyfriend. After a case of mistaken identity, a kidnapping, and a threat of extortion, Li Mi's dream may be on the cusp of becoming a reality.

Synopsis

Li Mi est une jeune chauffeur de taxi à Kunming. Depuis 4 ans, elle est à la recherche de son amour perdu, Fang Wen, qui parti sans laisser de trace, continue de lui envoyer des lettres sans jamais laisser d'adresse. Elle tente de le retrouver en montrant à ses passagers, un magazine où elle y a entreposé toutes les photos de Fang Wen. Un beau jour, elle prend en stop deux passagers aussi louches l'un que l'autre, sans se douter, qu'ils sont en fait des passeurs de drogue. Lorqu'elle s'aperçoit que l'un d'eux est armé, il est déjà trop tard : elle se fait prendre en otage et rentre dans un engrenage infernal... Par chance, elle réussit à s'échapper, et par un concours de circonstances, elle va être appelée à témoigner dans cette affaire de drogue, qui va la remettre étrangement sur les traces de Fang Wen.

The story follows the transient lives of four people at the margins of Chinese society. An anonymous videographer (Hua Zhongkai) opens the film with a monologue on the eponymous Suzhou River and love. As the film's narrator, the videographer is nevertheless never seen aside from his hands, as the camera serves as his first-person perspective for the audience. He starts by telling the story of a romance between himself and Meimei (Zhou Xun), a performer at a dive bar in Shanghai. He discusses his love of Meimei, who makes a living putting on a blond wig and mermaid costume and swimming in a large water tank at the "Happy Tavern," and who disappears days at a time, leaving him heartbroken each time.
