Based on the true story of the unlikely friendship between Chief Aliman of the Bunun clan (Taiwan's Aborigines) and the Japanese anthropologist Ushinosuke Mori during the Japanese occupation of Taiwan, Hayoun Kwon has been inspired by the Taïwanese shadow theater heritage to design this experience that leads the spectators on the path of these two extraordinary characters, showing the respect they've been sharing for the Jade Mountain and the way it forged their bonds.
