Storm = Lei Yu

Description: This film adaptation of the famous novel of the same name is a popular modern retelling of many traditional Chinese tropes, such as self-deception, corruption of the soul, incest and murder, all wrapped in the semblance of contemporary issues. While the plot is highly complex, it turns out that they are all related to one another and by tragic circumstance, almost all of them wind up either killing themselves out of grief or being struck by a thunderbolt.
