In "Ox-Head Horse-Face", Sebastian Tsé is an obstetrician born in Macau and educated in Canada who commits suicide because he has accounts to settle with the living and with God. Surprisingly, this soul that seeked vengeance in the world of the living, is transported to the World of the Dead where the Chinese gods reign. There, he attends his funeral, says goodbye to his suffering wife, Siu Mui, and leaves earthly life in search of answers. Through punishments due to sins committed as a human being, he discovers the essential Self and the meaning of Yuan Shen, the cosmic energy of his clan.
