Confidante (2013): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2013, Confidante is a romance film directed by Crosby Yip, running about 30 minutes.

What it’s about. Boy thinks if you love someone, turning her into a friend and confidante is the only way of keeping her forever. Girl thinks that some men are not cut out to be husbands or friends and can only be sustained in an ambiguous relationship. Sunny and Rain are polar opposites of each other as their names suggest. Throughout their university years, the two have been trying to maintain their relationship under the flimsiest of pretences – enmity, alliance, friendship and anything in between – to prevent the inevitable. Having made the transition from university to work, grappling with their changing feelings and skirting a grey area between romance and friendship, will they prove right the famously quip of Oscar Wilde that between men and women there is no friendship possible?

Who’s in it. Confidante stars Renci Yeung as Rain Cheung, Cliff Yung Chi Fung as Sunny Yip, Aaron Chow as Ben and Emily Tong Wing Kei as Stephanie, among others.
