Rework on Dong Chengpeng's previous award winning short "A Final Reunion". A comedy director has come up with an idea of breaking through his common filmmaking take by shooting a short film about how his grandmother would have spent on the New Year's day, crews recruited, the protagonist on set, everyone ready in the rural remote country where he was born and raised while out of everyone's expectation, the grandma passed. The movie has to go on, hence the narrative metamorphosizes from here... You can't always get what you want, as a storyteller, he leads the whole crew into another diverged yet moving journey.

东北荒村裡，两个做坏事的人遇到另一个做坏事的人，他们团结起来一起做坏事，由于太软弱，让他们做不成坏事，竟总像在做傻事。黑色幽默，是荒凉，是荒诞，是荒唐，也是荒废。一切都让人发慌，也许发笑。
