During the Northern Song Dynasty, the scholar Zhao Xingde (played by Koichi Sato) was left speechless by the examination questions from the Xi Xia, regretting his imperial exam failure. Disheartened, Xingde decided to journey beyond the Great Wall to the enchanting land of Xi Xia. During his travels, the caravan he was with was attacked by a mercenary group made up of Han people; he was forced to join their ranks and gradually earned the recognition and trust of the captain, Zhu Wangli. In battles against the Uighurs, he saved and hid Princess Silubiya (played by Ann Nakagawa). Their mutual hatred turned to love, and they planned to escape to Xi Xia together. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, Xingde had to leave his beloved behind. Little did he know that during his two-year absence, Silubiya was taken by the Xi Xia prince Li Yuanhao (played by Toshihiko Tōnase). Caught in the whims of fate, Xingde was destined to leave behind a legendary tale in the sands of history... This film is adapted from the masterpiece of the famous Japanese historical novelist Yasushi Inoue and won the Best Film, Best Director, and Best Actor awards (Toshiyuki Nishida) at the 12th Japan Academy Prize in 1988.
