In this Hong Kong New Wave classic, Cantopop superstars Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung play doomed lovers, a humble courtesan and the capricious son of a wealthy family, who enter into a death by suicide pact amidst the majestic teahouses of the 1930s. Half a century later, she returns to a different city-state to find her lost love, while drawing a modern young couple into supernatural intrigue. A melancholic fever dream where the past is present and the present is (not yet) past.
