Plots(1)

"Masterpiece" was a word frequently used when this movie opened. Chendu is a little boy in an aboriginal jungle village in the heart of India. One day he spots a leopard, but is stopped from using his bow; it might be a bad omen or it might be the same beast that killed his father. So the leopard is still out there, ready to strike again...
