Sinopsis

An ordinary village in northern China, where a group of kids kill time on the last day of the winter holiday. Aimless adolescents, a melancholic grandfather and a child who, when asked what he wants to be when he's older, replies "an orphan", are the protagonists in this strange tragicomic fiction, where absurdity and black humour reveal the universal pains of growing up.
