Synopsis:
In June the wheat tips are beginning to turn yellow.She comes back from Beijing to her hometown in Hebei, to find her father lying in bed with an IV and her mother out at the market.　It appears that this is the way life always is; this is normal; nothing is out of the ordinary.
Going back a few months, we see a filthy and chaotic side street in Beijing’s eastern suburbs called GaoXiDian.　In a nameless, unlit ‘beauty parlor’, this country girl of barely 20 years old shows us a corner of her life as a prostitute.
She says she can’t get involved with individual clients, but then we meet a customer named Xu…
She looks down on the boss of the salon, because she is “too greedy”…
She can’t forget the man who brought her to Beijing, her former boss Brother Chen, who unfortunately got into some trouble last year…
She gives all of her money to her family to pay for her father’s medical costs, keeping only 100RMB to get back to Beijing…
Time flies by, and soon her family’s wheat is ready to harvest, but it has been raining for days on end, making it impossible to begin…
The film revolves around the time of the harvest, documenting one person’s dual lives and struggles, how one person copes on her own in the face of everything.　Here we see the complex depths of human nature.

对人性的深切失望，让灵魂不安。无论境遇如何，都是人的本性使然，试图改变却无所适从。一切只是无始无终的存在。

Director’s Statement：
A deep disappointment in human nature unsettles the soul.　Regardless of the circumstances, everything comes from human instincts, and no matter how hard you try, there is no way to change it. Everything exists as it always was, with no beginning or end.
