Genre: Drama
Summary:
The film is set in rural China, in a village called Aicun, in Yunnan province, and takes place during the early 1980s. Ge Wang (Tuo Guoquan) is a crippled, penniless farmer who follows his grandmother’s advice and takes mentally handicapped woman Cherry (actress Miao Pu, who worked with the director on “Clay Fear” and who also featured in the Feng Xiaogang produced “Gimme Kudos”) for his bride. Warm hearted but troublesome, Cherry is so-named due to her habit of running around offering handfuls of cherries to the local children. Their marriage is happy enough, though Cherry pines for a child of her own. One day, her dream is fulfilled when she finds an abandoned baby in the nearby woods, and she battles against the odds to bring the girl up as her own. However, as the girl grows into teenager Scarlet (Long Li), the relationship between surrogate mother and daughter becomes strained.
