Rakshasa Tribulation (2020)

Other name: 罗刹劫

Description:

In the enchanting yet peculiar world of Raksha, inspired by Liao Zhai's classic fantasy stories, societal norms of beauty and ugliness are profoundly reversed. Faces, by human standards, are deemed unappealing, making superficial judgments impossible and misleading. Instead, this unique realm demands that individuals fight for their strength and demonstrate true inner power to earn respect and forge connections. This cultural mandate forms the core of the "Rakshasa Tribulation." The narrative follows a compelling journey where characters must navigate this challenging environment, pushing their physical and spiritual limits. They learn to look beyond the deceptive outward appearances dictated by Raksha society, enduring trials and proving their worth through resilience and battles. Ultimately, the film explores how amidst this constant struggle for strength, true love can blossom, transcending all conventional notions and proving that genuine connection lies in the strength of spirit, not the face.
