During the Southern Song Dynasty, rebel soldier ZHENG Yun is sent by Han general YUE Fei to infiltrate the enemy base of Damingfu. His mission: to deliver a secret list to the Mount Taihang Zhongyi Society rebels so the two armies can consolidate their forces to retake the Central Plains. However, the commander Ye-lu Zhong of Damingfu has already been tipped off and leads to ZHENG Yun’s unfortunate demise. LU Liu and his sister LU Xiao-Ling are the rebels’ last hope of completing the mission. Can the siblings emerge from the ensuing battle of wits and successfully deliver the list to Mount Taihang?
The Grand Passion is a tense historical drama fueled by complex relationships and a vivid narrative full of twists and turns. Despite a short running time of just 85 minutes, the film manages to successfully reconstruct the perilous rebellion against the Jin during the Southern Song Dynasty, leaving audiences holding their breaths.
