Ridiculed by the other boys, he is taken under the wing of a surly but understanding classmate. The two young boys dedicate their lives to an ancient art. Together, they share a dream until a woman comes between them, forging a tumultuous triangle of passion that survives of passion that survives the death of an empire and the turbulent birth of a new China."
