SYNOPSIS
"Love, once believed, is real."
Despite being swindled out of a large sum of money, the well-known gynecologist Yu still insisted that she was in love.
Yu, who had been widowed for several years, met Joe, who was disguised as a middle-aged French petroleum engineer and widower, on a dating app, not knowing that he was part of an online scam group.
Not only was Yu immersed in the online romance, but Joe also found pleasure and satisfaction in creating romantic experiences for Yu.
Two initially unlikable people gradually changed through this online romance that began with deception.
DIRECTOR'S NOTE
Perhaps only the victims of online romance scams experience happiness during the process of being deceived, with some even unwilling to wake up afterwards.
People often forget the moments of happiness due to the bad ending of a relationship. Sometimes, love is like a scam, with an element of deception, but both parties are willing participants, finding joy inside.
Outsiders may laugh at the foolishness of the victims, but they do not understand the joy of those involved.
The film is a reflection on the true and false meanings of love from the point of view of the victim of a romance scam.

故事大綱
「愛情，只要你相信，就是真。」
城中知名婦科醫生余笑琴 (吳君如 飾) 雖被騙巨款，最後仍堅稱自己只是談了一場戀愛。
喪夫數年的笑琴在交友軟件邂逅網騙集團的李偉祖 (張天賦 飾)，所偽裝的中年喪妻的法籍石 油工程師。
笑琴沉醉於網上情緣，而祖在為笑琴製造浪漫的過程中，亦找到樂趣與滿足。兩 個本來不討喜的人，因為這場由欺騙開始的網戀，一點點地改變。
導演的話
眾多騙案中，大概只有網戀情騙案的受害者在被騙的過程中是快樂的，有些人甚至過後都不願清醒。
人總因感情的壞結局，忘掉曾經的美好。有時候，戀愛如騙局，都有點欺騙成份， 成事總得你情我願，總有過樂在其中。
局外人笑局中人傻，卻不知局中人的樂。
電影通過情騙受害者的主觀，反思愛情中孰真孰假的意義。
