Synopsis
In ancient China, the young emperor Wu is kept a virtual prisoner in his palace by his scheming guardian. For Wu, the world outside the Forbidden City is a dangerous place. But when he hears a young peasant girl talk of the beautiful nightingale's song, it's too much to resist, and the two embark on an incredible and dangerous adventure.
