NOTES
This is a crime / mystery thriller with surreal and psychedelic science fiction overtones based on a book Inspector Glebsky's Puzzle by the Strugatsky brothers. The screenplay was also written by the brothers and it differs from the book. The less you know about the movie the better starting point you have. The film is based largely on the mystery of what's happening to the people of Dead Mountaineer's Hotel. Is everything what it seems? Who's dead or who's not?。很久很久以前,一场激烈的宫斗大戏落幕,当朝皇后和贵妃一起成为失败者,皇后被打入冷宫,贵妃杨玉儿逃亡。皇后的女儿云靖公主与杨玉儿机缘巧合来到同一家酒馆苟且偷生,遇到了痴心等待未婚夫赶考归来的村姑花蜜。谁知掌柜躲债跑路,酒馆濒临倒闭。没有了存身之处的三女不得不扛下这一切艰难求生,但是来自宫廷的杀机依然没有放过她们!。
