An epic, visually sumptuous biographical tragedy tracing one man's descent from absolute power to anonymous obscurity, mediated through Buddhism and historical upheaval.

A dramatic history of Pu Yi, the last of the Emperors of China, from his lofty birth and brief reign in the Forbidden City, the object of worship by half a billion people; through his abdication, his decline and dissolute lifestyle; his exploitation by the invading Japanese, and finally to his obscure existence as just another peasant worker in the People's Republic.
