The sudden collapse of the state leaves a group of cunning villagers unable to agree on who owns the land they once cultivated together. When the village elder recounts a forgotten story about a buried title deed that may hold the answer, the villagers spiral into absurd disputes that grow into a fight for ownership—filled with forged documents, makeshift borders, and moments that mirror the tale of the insatiable emperor told by the children, who silently witness the whole turmoil.
