Wang Xu

A colourful version of an Eastern Tibetan folk tale in a wonderful combination of flash with thangka (traditional Tibetan paintings with embroidery) and a score that combines native Tibetan music with modern influences. A hunter on his way up into the mountains meets a fearsome skeleton monster: are they friends or enemies?

The story of a farmer forced into conscription, who has been looking to get out of the army ever since. His great chance arrives when he stumbles upon a wounded general from an enemy state, and he kidnaps him, intending to claim credit for the capture, which includes five "mu" of land, and most importantly, honorable discharge from the army.
