The year is 2001. In Datong within China's Shanxi Province, Qiao's lover Bin makes a living from racketeering. When he is driven into a helpless situation by small time hoods, Qiao fires a warning shot from Bin's gun in order to save him. Arrested by police, Qiao protects Bin by going to jail for illegal possession of a firearm. She is released from prison 5 years later, but Bin has left Datong. Qiao tracks Bin to the city of Fengjie in the Three Gorges region where she discovers he is living with another woman.... Depicting the changes in society through the relationship of a man and woman living in the criminal underworld, this masterpiece could be called the sum of all JIA Zhang-ke's works to date. The splendid cinematography is by renown French cameraman Eric GAUTIER known for his work with Olivier ASSAYAS among others.
