剧情梗概(Synopsis)

在1995年之前的几年中，北京西郊靠圆明园附近的村落中陆续从全国各地来了一些追求自由创作的青年艺术家。这些人在村里农民的出租房安顿下来，然后雄心勃勃买颜料绷画布，进行艺术的探索与创作。农民对他们的画不感兴趣，但他们知道这些人是通情达理有学问的人。这里有湖水、树林和圆明园的废墟。然而他们面临的最大困难是凑齐每月要交给房东的房租，买画并不是唯一的生存手段，甚至主要靠别的手艺来维持生活。因为他们的作品很另类，有反叛的精神，不太合乎传统的美学，这引起了习惯看宣传画的官方的警惕。

1995年春天，先是有小道消息，后来还是感到有点突然，官方终于行动，毫不费力就把住在村落的近百名艺术家和他们的孩子们一起赶走了。

本片纪录了这个春天，以及春天以后这些艺术家们在冬天的故事。

For a few years until 1995, droves of young artists from all over China arrived in a few villages near Yuan Ming Yuan (the old imperial Summer Palace) on the outskirts to the west of Beijing in pursuit of freedom of art. They rented cheap houses from the villagers and settled in. They then ambitiously bought paint and canvas, setting out on their artistic explorations. The peasants were not interested in their art, but they knew these people were reasonable and knowledgable. And there were a lake, woods and the ruins of Yuan Ming Yuan. But the biggest obstacle for the artists was that they had to scramble around to pay the rent every month. Selling their paintings wasn't the only way of making a living. They had to rely on other crafts. As their artworks were different and had a very rebellious spirit that did not comply with traditional aesthetic values, the authorities that had been used to propaganda art were concerned.

In the spring of 1995, after hearing through the grape vine, the artists suddenly had to face the authorities. Without much resistence, the authorities expelled nearly a hundred artists and their children.

This documentary recorded this spring and the stories of what happened to those artists later in the winter.
