Lin Mo, a folk documentary director, breaks into the Lin family's old house in western Hunan to find out the truth about his father's coma ten years ago.
There are three ancestral precepts in the old house, if you break one, you will die: you are forbidden to enter the west wing when you are young, you are forbidden to touch the well on rainy days, and you are forbidden to look back at the image in the mirror.
But as soon as I got here, I saw the woman in the mirror smiling - the old scars on my wrist were actually sacrifices marked by the fragments of the bronze mirror!
The ancestral precepts have been broken, the seal has been loosened; tonight, when the mirror door opens, I will become the stand-in for a hundred-year-old female ghost.
Either live according to the ancestral precepts, or break them and drag the things out of the well.
