About the film:

During the Japanese occupation of China, two prisoners are dumped in a peasant's home in a small town. The owner is bullied into keeping the prisoners until the next New Year, when they are due to be collected. The village leaders convene to interrogate the prisoners, then the townspeople struggle to accommodate them. One is a bellicose Japanese nationalist, the other a nervous translator.
