During the Popular Front in Paris, Cheung Li, a young Chinese woman, asks Iris for help. Terrified by opium dealers, she needs to recover her little girl who still lives in China. As soon as their great adventure begins, Iris almost gets killed in the Angkor ruins, in Cambodia. A singular friendship between Iris and the one who legend will baptize ”The Red Empress”, will take them from Manchuria to the remote places of China, following the Last Emperor’s and the Great Helmsman’s footsteps.
