Following his acclaimed period blockbuster A Battle of Wits, director Jacob Cheung (The Intimates) returns to the sensitive human dramas that he's best known for with Ticket. A tribute to parenthood, Ticket was shot on location in rural China, with the gorgeous scenery greatly enhancing the film's uplifting and positive message. In the lead is young Mainland drama actress Zuo Xiao Qing (The Great Revival) in her largest film role to date, with supporting roles handled by a host of familiar faces, including Nicky Wu (A Battle of Wits), Mainland actor Fan Wei (Gimme Kudos), and Cecilia Yip, who won a Best Actress Hong Kong Film Award in Jacob Cheung's Beyond the Sunset.

Based on a collection of short stories originally set in Taiwan, Ticket tells three separate but interwoven stories about parenthood. Abandoned as a baby, journalist Yu-Tong (Zuo Xiao Qing) has only resent for the parents she never knew. While covering the tragic story of a young couple (Chin Siu Ho and Liu Si Tong) whose child is born with a rare disease, Yu-Tong receives word that her foster mother (Cecilia Yip) is dying. Her final wish is for Yu-Tong to seek out her birth mother. With only a set of train tickets as clues, Yu-Tong and childhood friend Zhi-Xuan (Nicky Wu) embark on a sweeping journey through China to find her mother and the truth behind her abandonment.
