Alone and exposed, the four young boys, led by the courageous Ko Yin Witazara, must now fend for themselves. Strange days filled with ghostly phenomena and jarring events shake the boys to the core, dramatically influencing their understanding of this world and beyond, as Witazara must choose whether to follow the master into the pass.

three woeful periods,

the five hindrances...

Ko Yin, what are you doing?

Nothing.

You look after the other boys.

Yes. Sayadaw asked me.

Me, I'm looking for my husband.

His cousin said he is in Taungoo.

I'm going to find him.

He'll want to see his son.

I know ifs a son. I can tell.

Maybe he will be like you.

What happened to your mom and dad?

They died.

Please accept my apology

for any mistake I may have made,

physically, verbally or mentally.

Little brother, how are you?

I'm fine, thank you.

You must visit me in Taungoo, young monk.

Once I reach my husband,

we will have a fine house,

and my son will be growing.

You'll come, yes?

Please accept my apology

for any mistake I may have made,

physically, verbally or mentally...

Thanks for looking after me.

Are we the only ones here?

Yes, we are alone.

Good. I would like to die in peace.

The abbot?

He went to town through the mountain pass.

Mountain pass?

Do you think someone can pass

through the mountain pass?

Did you ever hear the one about the farmer

who became rich at the mountain pass?

Some time ago on the mountain pass,

a poor farmer started gaining riches.

He became richer, day by day.

When he became rich,

his relatives became rich, too.

Some people said he was just lucky.

Others said it was because

of good deeds in his past lives.

The king from the palace

heard about this man's riches.

The king sent some soldiers

to collect taxes.

When the soldiers reached

the mountain pass, they became scared.

However, they could not

disobey the orders of the king.

But when they arrived,

the rich man...

treated them nicely.

He prepared nice foods for them.

He offered them opium.

They fell unconscious,

and he cut out their tongues.

When they arrived back to the palace,

they could not talk anymore.

Because their tongues were cut off there.

Whoever was sent to this village,

his tongue was cut off.

Nobody dares to...

go to the mountain pass.

What happened to the man?

Mister!

Mister!

Mister!

- Good day.

- Good day.

Venerable old sir,

why do you travel this road alone?

Come closer. I can't hear you, Ko Yin.

What brings you to this road

in this time of war?

I am seeking the lord of death.

Have you seen him?

I shall find him.

If I look at what's frightening me,

it will go away!

If I look at what's frightening me,

it will go away!

That's just an old story you've heard!

Look at me!

Little brother, why do you lay here?

Are you a spirit?

No, I'm Ko Yin Witazara.

Here, please.

This is the path.

You will not miss what you seek.

Thank you. Very good.

Ko Yin Witazara's back!

Ko Yin Witazara's back!

A miracle has happened!

Ko Yin Witazara's back!

Ko Yin Witazara's back!

They came so fast.

We had to leave before

we even knew what was happening.

We tried to get to you,

but it was too late.

Mom.

I am sorry that I had to leave you.

It is the way of this life, though.

Inescapable.

I am going to the abode of the Taungoo now.

But I remember you.

I wanted to see you to say good-bye.

Witazara!

Come look! Witazara, come look!

Sayadaw has returned!

Hello, young monks.

I am sorry I have been gone so long.
