Description

After witnessing a scene of violence en-route to a performance, master monk Shi Wen Long is deeply troubled by his inability to uphold the Kung Fu monk’s honour code of defending those in need. As he begins his routine performance in front of an unfamiliar crowd, Wen Long struggles to defend the honour of his tradition against unruly gawkers, while fighting against his own inner shame.
