Rouge
They loved across two generations and two different worlds.
Directed by Stanley Kwan Kam-Pang
Produced by Golden Way Films Ltd., Orange Sky Golden Harvest
A haunting, melancholic ghost story that weaves together two love stories across time, exploring whether passion can transcend death and the boundary between memory and reality.
Amid the opulent teahouses of 1930s Hong Kong, a humble courtesan and the wayward scion of a wealthy family fall in love and embrace death by suicide pact. Fifty years later, her ghost returns to find him, drawing a young contemporary couple into her quest to rekindle a passion that may be as illusory as time itself.
