MediaCorp stars Qi Yuwu and Li Lin star in their first movie Leap of Love!

MediaCorp’s Raintree Pictures had an opening ceremony for its latest project Leap of Love on Monday Jan 31. A romantic story spanning 20 years from 1984 to 2004, it stars popular local celebrities Li Lin, Allan Wu, Qi Yuwu, Vernetta Lopez and Nadya Hutagalung.

The movie tells the life of the female protagonist Li-ann (played by Li Lin) on 6 leap days (February 29) over 20 years.

Leap year baby Li-ann is a firm believer of Plato’s idea that there’s only one other half for every person. She falls for a stranger Jeremy, whom she believes is her destined partner, not knowing that he is already taken.

Li-ann approaches Jeremy, believing that a man cannot refuse a woman’s proposal on a leap day, and thus started an unusual but tumultuous love affair. The lovers meet only once every 4 years, on February 29.

Together with a colourful cast of gorgeous ladies and men, Leap of Love aims to capture the fascinating sensibilities and the essence of life in contemporary Singapore.

Leap of Love scored a cinematography coup with acclaimed cinematographer Kwan Pun Leung of Wong Kar Wai’s ‘2046’ coming on board. It is directed by French-Venezuelan director Fina Torres, director of Woman on Top and Celestial Clockwork.

Leap of Love is one of Raintree’s keystone projects and is slated for release in June 2005.
