Synopsis

In the suburbs of the city of Rome, two very different souls cross paths: the son of a highly indebted restaurant owner who has run away with his lover, and a mysterious young woman who has just arrived in the Italian capital from China in search of her missing sister. A European neo wuxia pian about a double family vendetta that finds its balance in the combination of melodrama, comedy, and several kung fu scenes choreographed with sheer ingenuity.
