A Touch of Zen

The story is largely seen through the eyes of Gu, who is a well-meaning but unambitious scholar and painter, with a tendency towards being clumsy and ineffectual. Gu is a non-combatant all the way through the film and only becomes involved when he sleeps with Yang. Together they plot against the corrupt Eunuch Wei who wants to eradicate all trace of her family after her father attempts to warn the Emperor of the corruption.
