故事摘要
Logline
「我倆是一支蠟燭兩頭燒，直到你消失了，我才發現你有一面是我從不認識，我的世界也隨之熄滅。」這是一個關於失去的故事，透過徘徊夢境與現實尋回缺失的一塊。
“Each of us is like the end of a double-sided candle. When you burn out, I realize there is a side of you that I never know.“ This is a story about lost and found through wandering between dreams and reality.
故事大綱
Synopsis
未來，城市燃燒殆盡 – 可賢和可瑞兩兄妹成長間只有彼此，靈魂肉體不可分割。長大後的可瑞愛上縱火，當消防員的可賢很苦惱。
可瑞嗜睡，可賢失眠。某夜，他遇到海羽，一個四十來歲的女人。此後二人不時在晚上碰面，可瑞亦在夢中遇見這神秘女子。
一天，可賢突然消失，可瑞到處縱火發洩。海羽把可瑞從烈火中救出，帶回自己家暫住。海羽的出現促使可瑞發著各式各樣奇怪的夢。這些夢境都像一面鏡子，它們反映著可瑞和可賢的過去。可瑞開始察覺「她所認知的過去」和「實際上的過去」有很大的出入。
可賢仍然音訊全無，可瑞一心以為能在夢中覓得失去了的一切，誰知她卻被自己的夢境所困。最終在絕望和掙扎之間，她選擇了用火燒毁一切，找到一個新出口。
In the near future, Hong Kong would become an exhausted place. Growing up in this world, Yin and Rui only had each other. Gradually, they develop a symbiotic and incestuous relationship.
Rui becomes an arsonist as she grows up. Yin, a firefighter, has been struggling to deal with various situations caused by his troublesome sister.
One night, Yin meets Miu, a woman in her forties. Miu is jealous of the siblings’ relationship. Yin and Miu bump into each other at night very often since then. Rui also starts to have strange dreams about a woman whom she had never met before.
One day, Yin disappears into thin air. Rui sets fire everywhere, hoping to attract Yin’s attention. But there is still no sign of Yin. Miu rescues Rui from the engulfing flames and brings her home.
Rui slowly gets lured into an endless loop of dreams and nightmares induced by Miu. The events in her dreams and nightmares all seem to reflect her past with Yin. Rui starts to realise her past with Yin is not the same as she knew of.
With the despair of losing Yin growing stronger, Rui decides to stand for herself and leaves everything behind for a new start.
導演闡述
Director’s Statement
香港以至世界近年所發生的事均讓我感到無力，原來絕望可以在短時間內形成。我希望這些情感能透過《菲與火》的人物被傳釋出來。這個故事回歸人最基本純粹的屬性：愛與恨、依賴與任性、慾望與絕望；透過火的不同形態，在堅持、破壞及重生中不斷輪迴，寓意新一代不再恐懼，拒絕繼續被制度綑綁，在無力與無奈中，燃起希望的烈焰。《菲與火》於我而言，非常個人，十分主觀，但它確實是屬於這個時代依然敢言敢愛敢恨的每個人。
Due to recent events happening in Hong Kong and around the globe, I have experienced the degree of hopelessness and powerlessness one can feel within a short period of time. And so, I want to translate these feelings into my characters’ emotions and experiences.
Fire Room goes back to our roots, to the rawness and simplicity of love and hate, of frustration and desire. The symbol of fire can reflect love, resistance, revenge and rebirth. This story may be personal to me, but it also includes those who have emotions, who are brave enough to express themselves in this chaotic world.
