About the title
China. The Cultural Revolution is in full swing. Somewhere in a remote village lost in the sands of Gansu province, where films are shown only once every two months, fate brings together two strangers, for each of whom this screening becomes the most important of their lives. The most recent film to date by Zhang Yimou, a living classic of Chinese cinema, has from the very start attracted close attention from the press — for reasons, as usually happens, quite far removed from the artistic qualities of the film.
