Hong Kong Film Awards nominee "Heaven in the Dark" has released its first official trailer today.
The movie, starring Hong Kong actress Karena Lam and actor Jacky Cheung, tells the story of a woman who shares a kiss with a pastor and then files sexual harassment charges against him. The pastor ends up losing his faith as a consequence of her actions, while the woman tries to find salvation in religion.
Though not yet released, both leading stars have already been nominated for best actress and best actor, respectively, at the 2016 Hong Kong Film Awards, which will take place on April 3rd.
It has also been selected as the opening film of the Golden Horse Fantastic Film Festival on April 8th.
The film is adapted from the popular 2005 stage play "French Kiss," which won the Best Script Award in Hong Kong that year.
Marking the directorial debut of Lam's husband Yuen Kim-wai, the movie is now scheduled for a Hong Kong release on March 24th.
