Overview
A woman married to the brutal and infertile owner of a dye mill in rural China conceives a boy with her husband's nephew but is forced to raise her son as her husband's heir without revealing his parentage in this circular tragedy. Filmed in glowing technicolour, this tale of romantic and familial love in the face of unbreakable tradition is more universal than its setting.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A lush, slow-burning tragedy where forbidden desire collides with rigid social structures, creating an inescapable web of deception and despair. The film's gorgeous color palette becomes increasingly suffocating as personal happiness proves incompatible with duty and lineage.
