One day, having failed in a task, she is sent back by her mistress to the land of her birth, with orders to kill the man to whom she was promised - a cousin who now leads the largest military region in North China. A slave to the orders of her mistress, Nie Yinniang must choose: sacrifice the man she loves or break forever with the sacred way of the righteous assassins. Movie Review: One thing’s for sure – the latest work by famed Taiwanese auteur Hou Hsiao Hsien won’t make a killing at the local box office.
