K

Based on a true story, K tells the story of the passionate and illicit affair between Julian Bell (son of Vanessa Bell and nephew of Virginia Woolf) the darling of the Bloomsbury set and the beautiful Chinese writer and intellectual Lin Cheng. Set against the vivid backdrop of decadent 1930s Peking, Lin teaches Julian the Daoist Art of Love - but the country around them is divided by cultural conflict and overshadowed by impending war, which will impact on both of their lives.
