Han var arvtageren til det tusenårige riket. Han var født til å herske i tråd med urgamle tradisjoner, men ingen forberedte ham på en verden i forandring. Tre år gammel bestiger Pu Yi Dragetronen for å bli keiser over flere hundre millioner kinesere. Hans liv begynner som et eventyr i “Den forbudte by” med tusenvis av tjenere, prakt og overflod, og gjenklangen av ritualer lyder i byens isolat. Han bevitner og deltar i forandringenes voldsomme stormer som blåser over Kina på 1900-tallet. Han er marionettkeiser og fange hos japanerne under den andre verdenskrigen.

I denne nærmest overjordisk vakre filmer følger vi to munker, en ung og en gammel, i arbeid, lek og læring. De bor i et ørlite flytende kloster, og gjennom årstidenes (og årenes) gang får også publikum en opplevelse av livets enorme verdi, tilværelsens skjønnhet og menneskets dumhet og ikke minst visdom. Vi får se blendende vakre bilder av fjellandskap i skiftende årstider. Mer enn det, får vi se et forbløffende komplett spekter av menneskelige følelser. Her er alt med, og alt er ekte og riktig. Det er slett ikke verst på sirka hundre minutter, men Kim Ki-Duk får det til ved å konsentrere materien. Filmens tempo er også godt tilrettelagt for ettertanke, og denne ettertanken sitter igjen lenge etter at filmen er over.
