Description
A lavish Chinese epic, set in the Age of Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, tells the story of a royal court in turmoil: forbidden love, deceit, revenge, overpowering beauty, and greed. A young empress finds her empire on the verge of a massive revolution as storms begin to brew both within the royal court as well as in the outlying kingdoms. She turns to her stepson for assistance but finds herself deeply involved in an attempt to have her throne and power overtaken. The film is heavily influenced by Shakespeare's plays, specifically Hamlet and Macbeth.
