But Hua Mulan, his older daughter, steps in to take the place of her ailing father. Disguised as a man, Hua Jun, she enrolls in the army and trains to be loyal, brave and true. With the grueling training, she must learn to harness her innermost strength and embrace her potential. What ensues is an epic plot that sees Mulan evolving into a fierce warrior who brings honour and respect to her great nation and makes her family proud.
