About the film:
The story is largely seen through the eyes of Ku, who is a well-meaning but unambitious scholar and painter, who tends to be clumsy. A stranger arrives in the town wanting Ku to paint his portrait, but his real objective is to bring a female fugitive back to the city for execution on behalf of the East Chamber guards.
