    • When their father becomes paralyzed, two Hmong siblings have to care for their bull. The younger sibling, Neng, laments his mundane village life and wants to escape to become a singer in a city. His older sister, Ying, secretly trains the bull to join bullfights to earn money to support Neng’s pursuit, even though it is against their father’s will and tribal tradition.
