The World of White Light Story
Synopsis
WHITE LIGHT STORY follows a Girl and her Parents in post-war Japan, who discover a new style of martial arts based on Spirit, and harmony. When practised, it creates a beautiful WHITE LIGHT.
Unknowingly, it opens a magical Gate, bridging the Physical World to the Spirit World. A curious Fox Spirit enters, and falls in love with the Girl.
Meanwhile Sifu, a mysterious fighting legend, is perfecting his own style of mystic martial arts based on Physical force, and willpower. When practised, it creates a beautiful RED GLOW.
Having sworn an Oath to find a student to pass his knowledge to before he dies, he is drawn to the Girl’s family.
Their meeting however throws all their destinies astray; the Girl’s Parents are killed, Sifu is devastated, the Fox Spirit is forced back to the Spirit World, and the Gate is no more.
The series follows the Girl, her Parents, and the Fox Spirit over their next 2 human incarnations of life, death, and re-birth as they find each other again, and fight to remember (or forget!) the truths of their collective past.
Sifu however survives all of it in a single lifetime, and over the years becomes convinced that the Girl is the True Student he seeks to pass his wisdom before he can die. However, the Girl and her Parents want to part of him.
With a little help from the Spirit World, they must all come to understand the true nature of the 2 fighting styles, how it all went wrong, and how to heal their collective karma.
A Story of Family, True Love, Life, Death, Martial Arts, Free Will, and Destiny.
