This documentary depicts the daily life in a traditional Chinese farming society. The director leaves aside social problems, such as poverty, and focuses on the people’s simple and natural way of life. The film has no dialogue and daily life is told through the ever-present eye of the film-camera. The backdrop is China’s natural landscape and the changing seasons that mark farming life. As the film unfurls, it reveals a world of joy and inner peace that only close contact with the land can bring to this people.
