html - Extend bootstrap row outside the container

Question

We are using Bootstrap 3 on our site and I've got a request on a new template with a design which have some elements that doesn't really follow the bootstrap grid. I've tried to get it to work but haven't succeeded.

I've tried to explain the problem in the image below. Anyone have an idea of how I can solve this?

One option is to use a CSS pseudo ::before element that will resize in height along with the col-lg-6..

#main {
    background: lightgreen;
    height: 100vh;
}

#main > .row {
    height: 100vh;
}

.left {
    background: red;
    position: relative;
    top: 50%;
    transform: translateY(-50%);
}

.left:before {
    left: -999em;
    background: red;
    content: '';
    display: block;
    position: absolute;
    width: 999em;
    top: 0;
    bottom: 0;
}
<div class="container" id="main">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-lg-6 left">
            ..
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Another option is to use an absolute position .container-fluid (full-width) behind the content .container that acts as a "ghost"...

.abs {
    position: absolute;
    right:0;
    top:0;
    bottom:0;
    z-index: 1;
}

<div class="container">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-sm-6">
            <h4>Content</h4>
        </div>
        <div class="col-sm-6">
            <!-- space over image -->
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
<div class="container-fluid abs">
    <div class="row h-100">
        <div class="col-sm-6 h-100">
            <!-- empty spacer -->
        </div>
        <div class="col-sm-6 right">
            <img src="//placehold.it/1000x400">
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
