In May of 1997, Zubin Mehta conducts and Zhang Yimou directs Puccini's "Turnadot" in Florence. A year later, they stage nine performances in Beijing. This documentary focuses on the China production: a huge and elaborate set, hundreds of extras, three sets of principles, props and costumes matching the Ming Dynasty. Mehta, with his Indian roots and European training, revels in bringing disparate cultures together.

The making of Puccinni's masterwork on location inside the old Forbidden City in Beijing. It follows a European-Chinese cross-cultural cluster-f--k that somehow, at last, produces a work of amazing power and beauty. Marvelous doc.
