As It Burns

2024 · 102 min Drama
4.0 / 10 · TMDB

An explosion takes place in an apartment late at night, with a charred body of a woman found on spot. Her name is Yin Ching. A woman called Lam Yam looks surprisingly similar to the deceased Ching, except that her temperament and background have no connections. But they happened to fall in love with the same man Lou Lou. Though it seems to be an accident, there is a romance behind with mixed feelings spanning over a decade. Ching and Lou were childhood friends, but Lou accidentally killed her mother more than ten years ago. The mortal sin being unexposed, fate made them break apart. Over a decade later, Ching met Lou again in the city. Ching finds Lou’s girlfriend Lam Yam has a striking resemblance to her. That inspires Ching to start her plan… After Ching was killed, Lou starts to notice something unusual with Yam, with a familiar but strange feeling.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a tense psychological drama, relying on motifs of doubling and concealed guilt. It explores how the past haunts its characters, turning love into a battlefield for manipulation and retribution.

What lingers after the final frame is a complex web of emotions, where each revelation shifts the moral ground. A story about the unbearable weight of secrets and the price of atonement. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Lee Po-Cheung
