(Synopsis)
A mature and sentimental allegory about reincarnation, lost love and inexorable tragedy, which ranks as one of the most melancholy fantasies in memory.
Song Yu, a revered symphony conductor, plagued by visions of a beautiful, beckoning maiden in traditional attire and a terracotta statue bearing his likeness. At an exhibition of Qin artifacts, he encounters Cheung Yuet-heung, the spitting image of the woman in his dream.
She, too, has been experiencing visions, but of a more disconcerting nature, like Yu being strangled by imperial soldiers and others she's too afraid to impart. With the help of a blind medium, Yu learns that he and Yuet-heung are the reincarnation of these figures, lovers who met a tragic fate 2200 years earlier.
Together, the two try to come to grips with their emotions and the question of Yu's devoted girlfriend, Wah-lei, who correctly surmises that there is no place for her in a love spanning twenty two centuries.
