Crowned at the age of 3, Pu Yi is the last emperor of the legendary imperial China. He lives in reclusion in the inaccessible enclosure of the Forbidden City. A few years later, still in his youth, the country begins to crumble. And the communist revolution ends up causing his overthrow. Pu Yi will have to face the outside world for the first time in his life.
