THE SKULL ORACLE

Where history’s darkest secrets meet myth and magic — revealing the stolen skulls of Taiwan’s Indigenous people and a woman’s awakening to her ancestral shamanic powers.

38-year-old surgeon”Zhen“ faces gender discrimination at work and spirals into visions and dreams. She crosses a mythic bridge formed by the phallus of tribal giant Halus, entering her great-grandmother Sayun’s past. Sayun, a powerful shaman, was exiled during Japanese rule after falling for a researcher and being falsely blamed for the theft of sacred skulls. Her story became a family taboo, severing the shamanic line. Reassigned to a rural clinic, Zhen reconnects with her estranged mother and, guided by an old shaman, awakens ancestral memories. She travels to Tokyo, finds Sayun’s truth, and meets the researcher’s remorseful grandson. As the tribe debates reclaiming spiritual power and her mother faces religious backlash, Zhen confronts Halus in a dream, breaking free from inherited trauma. With the shaman’s death, ”Zhen“ accepts her spiritual legacy, becoming a healer who bridges medicine and ancestral wisdom.
