Love, hatred, and betrayal abound in Shanghai during the chaotic, war-torn 1930’s. Mr. Lu is ambushed during an important meeting with the Japanese army, but his sister’s husband, Watabe sacrifices himself to save Mr. Lu. Worse still, the Japanese brutally murder Mr. Lu’s children and sister. To avenge their deaths, Mr. Lu’s mistress attempts to kill the culprit but ends up dead. Years later as the Sino-Japanese war comes to a close, Mr. Lu visits the abandoned wife of his former boss, Mrs. Wang. She reveals that Watabe is still alive and did not sacrifice himself to save Mr. Lu, but is actually a Japanese spy responsible for the deaths of his family members and captured her as a slave in his basement. Given this new revelation, Mr. Lu takes Mrs. Wang to the war camp where Watabe is held to finally make him pay for his sins (Source: Letterboxd) Edit Translation

This is a whodunit mystery - set in pre / during and post Japanese war time lines. It follows a series of events involving the main characters. The story is viewed from different perspectives and different times sometimes blending past and present as perspectives change.

It is not a gangsters movie, nor a war movie. Is a movie that deals with the dark side of the time periods, and the dark side of the people living in them. A movie where there are no good guys vs bad guys per se, however a battle does rage through the movie.

I don't want to give any more hints than the synopsis already gave out -
