The master musician (Liu Zhongyuan) and his young apprentice, Shitou (Huang Lei), are traveling through the demanding mountainous region of western China. They're also both blind.

Shitou, however, seems to be more interested in Lanxiu (Xu Qing), the beautiful young villager he meets on his journey. Released (DVD): Jun 11, 2007 See Movie Details
