Fleur and Twelfth Master have a love pact. When they die, they will reunite in the afterlife. But decades later, Fleur finds herself a lone ghost, wandering contemporary Hong Kong in a 1930s cheongsam, raising eyebrows with her saga of lost love. Out of fear and intrigue, a journalist and his girlfriend decide to help Fleur search for the missing Twelfth Master. A stunning tale of enduring passion and hope, ROUGE is a vision of Hong Kong becoming unrecognizable to itself, told as one of cinema’s greatest ghost stories.
