| Short Synopsis: | The film draws inspiration from the novel "Dream of the Red Chamber" by Xueqin Cao, and tries to represent the relationship between Daiyu and Baoyu using a narrative line that intersects the previous life, the mythical one, to the mortal one, showing the ethereal relationship between the gem, Baoyu, and young lady, Daiyu. From the gracious gesture of a god towards a dying herb, a pact is sealed. In the bond between the latter and the god, it is said that the herb will take human form and will be able to live in the world, but accepting to always wear an earring, a symbol of his commitment, and to pay part of the debt by shedding tears to his saviour. Neglecting these duties or losing the earring, the young woman will die. |
