Summary
The men in a rural Chinese village make secret plans to watch sex and action films from Hong Kong. As the story unfolds it becomes clear that the little village can provide more scandalous and juicy materials than any filmmaker can dream up. The story centers around Xiang, her lazy and abusive alcoholic husband, and their mom-and-pop sesame oil making business.
