This short film was inspired by the story told in the prose written by Jia Pingwa to memorize his father in 1989. Set on the North Shannxi Loess Plateau, the story tells about two boys trying to sell a pig, the only valuable property of the poor family, for food. However, things go wrong. The film was artistically designed to present the spectacular and broad scenery of the Loess Plateau as well as the simple life of the people. This is a black humor about the difficult years in the northwest of China in 1970s.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
