Synopsis

In 1984 at a small village in Jiangsu Province, China, a group of school boys stumble across a small clay head whilst playing at a development site. A Chinese archaeological team ultimately unearths 4,000 terracotta statues. This terracotta army is pint-sized, many are broken, different warriors are mixed together and the pits are unfinished. Why? This is the tale of the discovery of the Lion Hill Tomb, and the little disorderly warriors who guard it.
