My Way 2012

My Way follows the unusual artistic pursuit of two young men, Tam Wing-Lun and Wong Hau-Wai, in taking up female roles in Cantonese opera. Cantonese opera has a tradition of female portraying male characters, most famous one being Yam Kim-Fai, but almost never vice versa. Tam and Wong demonstrates unparalleled perseverance for a decade in fulfilling their aspiration in an art form which is already a rare choice for Hong Kongers. While male artist Mei Lanfang excelled in female roles in Peking opera almost a century ago, can Tam and Wong achieve equal success in Cantonese opera?
