Short Cuts: Wong Kar-wai's In the Mood for Love

An old woman remembers her life and the strange shadow figure that has followed her through it.

This story is based on an ancient northern legend according to which the souls of the drowned people turn into sea animals. The Hunter steals a seal-girl’s skin, so she can’t turn back into an animal. She becomes his wife, but often she glances at the sea.
