The Lovers of the Year of the Tiger 2005
Synopsis
The year 1913. Two Poles escape from exile across the Siberian taiga. Their attempt to cross the dangerous Amur River bordering on China ends in a tragedy. As a result one of them, Stankiewicz (Norbert Rakowski), dies while the other, Wolski, badly wounded and exhausted by the murderous trek, loses consciousness. Old Chinese hunter Guo (Su Ji Feng) finds him when he is still unconscious. The hunter takes the wounded getaway to his hut in the mountains, where he lives with his wife and the beautiful 16-year-old daughter by the name of Song. Not to push their luck, the parents make the girl cut her hair, dress like a man and altogether hide her female identity. Will all this stop the budding love of the young Chinese girl for the stranger from a far-off country?
The first Polish-Chinese co-production.
