This is the first animated short film by the National Palace Museum on the subject of ancient Chinese bronzes. The film, beginning thousands of years ago, tells a futuristic story about space travelers on an adventure to solve a mystery, presenting in the process information on the appearance and production of Chinese bronze ritual vessels. Produced in high-quality 4K resolution, it not only features much 3D animation but also detailed filming of bronzes themselves and how one was actually made. Audiences can thereby witness various aspects of Chinese bronzes all in one short film.
