Gulu Village, an isolated idyll on the edge of a cliff in China's Sichuan province, is home to substitute teacher Shen and his beloved school. Despite his substitute title, Shen has taught at the school for over 26 years. When a volunteer teacher arrives, with utopian visions and revolutionary ideas, Shen's world is turned upside down. The two men clash over what is best for the school and begin a battle to undermine and expose each other. On the Rim of the Sky captures the epic confrontation between outsider versus insider, tradition versus new ideas and youth versus experience.
