Headless
This film takes place during the Republic of China period and tells the story of Mu Yuan, who is on the brink of death. In his mind, he creates a new identity for himself as the police officer, Zhao Ren. As Zhao Ren uncovers the truth of a series of thrilling and bizarre events, Mu Yuan also completes his inner redemption before his death. This is a philosophical story with a gripping plot and about spiritual redemption. The message they’d like to convey to the audience is that only by bravely facing past mistakes and hardships can we truly resolve our inner turmoil and emerge from the shadows, and begin a new life.
