The Little Ring

Through an intimate emotional narrative exploring the full spectrum of human nature, the movie draws on Eastern philosophical thinking to help viewers break free from worldly obsessions.

Directed by Chakme Rinpoche, The Little Ring leans on a strong ensemble — Lu Qiwei, 邱黯雄 — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
