Plot: In rural Gaotai county, two lonely, middle-aged outcasts are pushed into an arranged marriage by their families. Ma is a humble farmer with little to offer his timid and sickly wife Cao, except for a small abandoned house on a barren patch of land. From just a few seeds, their newly planted crops take root and flourish; and similarly, an unexpected bond between the two starts to blossom. As seasons pass, their dedication to each other grows stronger, but change and adversity soon threaten the idyllic existence they share. The film was nominated for the Golden Bear Award for Best Film at Berlin International Film Festival.
