About This Movie

So 'B for Busy' is this quirky little comedy from 2021 that dances around love and life’s complications. The protagonist, a retired painting teacher from Shanghai, finds himself in this messy romance with another divorced woman. It’s not just a simple love story; throw in his ex-wife and a former student, and you get this tangled web of relationships that keeps the viewer on their toes. The pacing has this nice ebb and flow, balancing humor with those more tender moments. The performances feel genuine, capturing the awkwardness and beauty of finding love later in life. It's that kind of film that embraces the chaos of adult relationships – really resonant in today’s world, I'd say.
