In the Kingdom of Zhao, all the men have left for war and Lady Li (Fan Bingbing), wife of the absent lord, says victory will soon bring their men back home. When two enemy deserters invade the kingdom, they pretend to be Zhao soldiers and improvise a tale for Lady Li describing Zhao's victory. Word of the supposed victory spreads rapidly throughout the town, causing misplaced optimism among the women until the truth is revealed and despair and horror emerge. Set during the Warring States period, the film is divided into five sections, which corresponds to the Chinese system of elements: metal (aka gold), wood, water, fire and earth.
