Lavender (2000 film)

Lavender (Chinese: 薰衣草; Jyutping: Fan Yi Cho) is a 2000 Hong Kong romantic film written and directed by Riley Yip Kam-Hung.

The title of the film is derived from Kelly Chen's character Athena's deceased boyfriend favorite scent, which was lavender.

The film is the third collaboration between Kaneshiro and Chen, the two previously co-starred together in 1996 Lost and Found and 1998 Anna Magdalena.

She is lonely and depressed, her life is empty, she desperately longs and misses her deceased boyfriend Andrew.

Each day she purchases a helium balloon, writes a message on it and releases it to the skies hoping it will reach Andrew.

At first she thinks he is a burglar until he explains to her that he is an injured angel who can't return to heaven until the Holy Door is opened plus he must gather love to be able to fly again.

Even with his newly purchased many pairs of shoes Angel still prefers to wear the old laced up boots Athena gave him.

She hears a loud fall and goes in investigate to find a man in white coveralls wearing the same boots as Angel fallen on the balcony.
