This is a fragment of a film, or a preliminary study for a longer work, about a Buddhist orphanage in Malawi run by Chinese. The Chinese give the orphans housing, food and education. Just as in many Christian institutions, the children also receive a religious education. And they receive lessons in noble martial arts.
