A playful yet poignant road movie through ancient China, mixing slapstick, martial arts, and a quiet, fatalistic ending.

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 acres of land, and most importantly, honorable discharge from the army.
