Based on the book “The Carnal prayer mat” which was banned for 400 years, this is a bawdy tale of the sexual adventures of a monk during the Ming Dynasty. Sexually explicit, this is considered to be on of China’s greatest erotic sagas. Cantonese dialogue with English subtitles. NOTE: At times the subtitles are difficult to read, this is due to the way the print has been filmed.
