All About Love (得閒炒飯 De xian chao fan) is a 2010 Hong Kong film directed and produced by Ann Hui. Based on a true story, the plot concerns two bisexual women who had been lovers in the past and meet again years later in a counseling session for expectant mothers. Hui said in an interview that initially There were no investors for the film because the subject of same-sex relationships was banned in China, and the Hong Kong film industry relied on the Chinese market.

Ms. Hui, a graduate of the London Film School, described the film as serious…but it is also very commercial, adding that Sometimes it is better to make serious issues more acceptable to audiences, by making it a comedy and having big stars so that people will come watch the movie.
