| SYNOPSIS Set not so long ago in a distant
land, the film follows the adventures of twin tiger cubs – one shy and
gentle, the other bold and fierce – who are born among the temple ruins
of an exotic jungle. However, on a fateful day, the brothers are separated
by fate. The bold brother is sold off to a circus, where homesickness
and living in a cage rob him of his spirit. Meanwhile, the shy cub becomes
the beloved companion of the governor's lonely young son, until an accident
forces the family to give him away to a man who resolves to break his
gentle nature and turn him into a fighter for sport. When they are fully
grown the brothers find themselves reunited – but as forced enemies, pitted
against each other. |
