Crossing the Mountain

Rui YANG 2010 China Fiction color 98min Chinese Digi Beta
In a Wa village near the border between China and Burma, three young teachers in the primary school lead a tranquil and eventless life until a mysterious explosion takes place. The explosion frightens everyone in the village. The local authorities intervene and begin to investigate the case. Meanwhile, a documentary film crew, interviewing villagers about the former headhunting practices of the Wa, encounters the story of another explosion in the village’s past. The three young men are also deeply intrigued by an old survivor from the accident, another strange explosion that happened before. The past leads them to the answer, enigmatic as the mists and forests of the mountain itself.
