In 1979, giants fossils belonging to unknown creatures are found in the mountains near Mongolian border, along with the perfectly preserved remains of a human form thousands of years ago.

When a freak explosion collapses the excavated tunnels, the Professor asks for volunteers to venture with him and his daughter in the mountain and find a new passageway. Hu and a few others step forward, and soon the small group is trekking through the mountain's treacherous bowels. After the group is decimated by strange, lethal bats, the survivors fall into a precipice, only to wake up at the bottom, miraculously alive. And while looking for a way out, they discover a mysterious cyclopean temple which – as it soon becomes apparent – the Professor had been actively looking for.

Marguerite (2015)
Drama
1921, the beginning of the Golden Twenties. Not far from Paris. It is party day at Marguerite Dumont’s castle. Like every year, an array of music lovers gathers around a great cause at the owner’s place. Nobody knows much about this woman except that she is rich and that her whole life is devoted to her passion: music. Marguerite sings. She sings wholeheartedly, but she sings terribly out of tune. In ways quite similar to the Castafiore, Marguerite has been living her passion in her own bubble, and the hypocrite audience, always coming in for a good laugh, acts as if she was the diva she believes she is. When a young, provocative journalist decides to write a rave article on her latest performance, Marguerite starts to believe even further in her talent. This gives her the courage she needs to follow her dream. Despite her husband’s reluctance, and with the help of a has-been divo, both funny and mean, she decides to train for her first recital in front of a crowd of complete strangers.
