The one directorial feature by Ning Dai, sister of 5th generation filmmaker Ning Ying and wife of 6th generation filmmaker Zhang Yuan. It follows a chaotic period in November of 1993, when production suddenly halted on Zhang Yuan's TV film adaptation of a popular novel, Chicken Feathers, after the Chinese Film Bureau announced that Zhang could no longer direct the film due to submitting his previous independent feature, 1992's Beijing Bastards, to a film festival in Japan without receiving the proper authorization to do so. Ning's documentary features anguished meetings between the Chicken Feather's production crew as they debate replacing Zhang with another director, along with testimonials on the state of censorship in Chinese independent cinema of the early '90s from Wu Wenguang, Tang Danian, He Jianjun, Cui Jian, and others.

作家狗子和民谣歌手老狼以及本片导演唐大年，应“西局书局”之邀，在日本“无赖派”作家太宰治离世七十周年之际，踏上了寻找太宰治之路。从太宰治生活过的东京三鹰市、吉祥寺，到青森老家，以及太宰治出生地金木的老屋———著名的斜阳馆，再到太宰治多次自杀的镰仓，并且走访了太宰治的私生女、被称做“斜阳之子”的太田治子。他们漫游于太宰治足迹所到之处，且喝且行且聊，关于太宰治、关于酒、文学、女性和死亡，其间也有种种争执和冲突。所谓的寻找之旅，其实是每个人的向内追寻，在太宰治的迷雾中，照见自己。
