After bonding over a shared copy of Tolstoy’s Resurrection, a medical student and a steelworker are drawn into a dangerous relationship marked by obsession, violence, and two unsolved murders. A decade later, their paths cross again as a doctor, a laborer, and a haunted police officer confront the consequences of the past—and choose between salvation and ruin.

"Dutch lenser Joewi Verhoeven's stellar images — bathed in yellow and blue in the past, and red and green in the present, make ASH one of the most beautiful films to come out of China this year, in any genre"

Elizabeth Kerr, The Hollywood Reporter

"With its universal theme, ..., and pristine technical craftmanship from Dutch DP Joewi Verhoeven, ASH makes for an absorbing and provocative watch"
