About Synesthete
A photographer, Chi-Shing is entangled with a "woman in red", leading to the deaths of his relatives one by one. When the girl he likes, Sze Tung, also died mysteriously, Chi Shing vows to find out the truth but ends up revealing the secret of a "ghost marriage".
Directed by Tony Leung Hung-Wah, Synesthete leans on a strong ensemble — Carlos Chan Ka-Lok, Rose Chan Ka-Wun, Ava Yu Kiu — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 2021.
