Love Ghost

Maria and Yuka share an apartment in Taipei. One morning, there is a big earthquake. They fear for their lives. A ghost wants to bring them to the land of The Dead. Maria's boy-friend Charlie comes to rescue them. The Ghost falls in love with him and lets the women live.

Love Ghost is inspired by the ancient Taiwanese tradition, that an unmarried woman needs to get married, even though she is already dead and has become a ghost.

Director Biography - Susanne Palm

Born in Gothenburg in Sweden. Have lived and worked as a journalist and actress in Sweden, Denmark, France, Ireland, UK and Taiwan. Wrote two feature films and three short films in 2016-2017. Directed Love Ghost in 2017 and Ghostlove in 2018 in Taiwan. In pre-production for Ghostfree.

Living in Taiwan has inspired me to write those three short films, Love Ghost(drama), Ghostlove(romance) and Ghostfree(thriller). I am fascinated by the old Tao traditions and how some old beliefs still have a place in modern society. My goal is to use my knowledge and experience from those three films and make a feature, a thriller based on the same theme.
