Set at the end of the Ming dynasty in China, it tells the story of Dao-Sheng, a monk, physician and diviner who lives in a mountain monastery, torn between Buddhism and Taoism. Years after glimpsing a woman, he descends to the plain to find her; the reunion unleashes an absolute passion, a path to overcoming the self and accessing eternity.
