What happens

Lost in the Stars (Chinese: 消失的她; lit. 'She Who Disappeared') is a 2022 Chinese mystery film directed by Cui Rui and Liu Xiang, and starring Zhu Yilong, Ni Ni, Janice Man, and Du Jiang. The film is adapted from Aleksey Korenev's 1990 Soviet comedy film Trap for a Lonely Man and French playwright Robert Thomas' 1960 play Trap for a Lonely Man (Piege Pour un Homme Seul). It tells the story of businessman He Fei and his wife, Li Muzi, who disappears during an anniversary trip to Southeast Asia; the woman who reappears, claiming to be Li Muzi, is not his wife. The film was released theatrically in China on 22 June 2023. It received generally positive reviews from critics. The plot bares resemblance to the 2019 Wang Nuannuan case, where her husband pushed Wang off a cliff in order to inherit her assets and clear gambling debts. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
