A man returns to his native Beijing after serving in a labor camp, to find that he has no family or prospects or friends. He tries to make a living, but his old underworld contacts drag him back into a life of crime.
A stark, unforgiving portrait of a man adrift in a changing world. It's a somber, atmospheric dive into the lingering shadows of the past, where every step forward feels like a struggle against an unseen current.
