Bowa is a young boy of the Tujia ethnic minority living in a small village outside Chongqing.

With the help of an enlightened supply teacher, who has volunteered to teach in this remote mountainous area, and help from a little white crane he befriends along the way, he eventually overcomes his speech impediment revealing a veritable child prodigy beneath the surface…
