ICAC: Two Stories "Water"(1978)

Overview

Two Stories “Water” kicked off with the Cantonese tune of Raindrops Beating on the Banana Leaves, a symbolic hint on the tragic outcome of the drama – a demonstration of Joyce's astute use of music. When a kind, gullible mother-in-law and her rude, strong-willed daughter-in-law separately encounter the same con-artist, the result is high drama.
