Synopsis
In Han Dynasty China, a hotheaded young man, Pei, is jailed for murder following a brawl. As the emperor has decreed autumn the season for executions, Pei must languish in jail for almost a year awaiting the inevitable. His wily grandmother concots a scheme to see that at least the family line will carry on by sneaking a girl into his cell for conjugual visits. the relationship is the start of Pei's spirtual regeneration, a process in which the strict Confucianism with which his grandmother raised him is met by a more Taoist acceptance of his guilt and death.
