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.
Rouge is a 1987 Hong Kong supernatural romantic-drama film directed by Stanley Kwan, and starring Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung. The film is the adaptation of a novel with the same title by Lilian Lee.
