An open air screening of a film is organized by the political team in charge of Culture, Science and Technology, and Medical Care in the remote mountain area surrounding Lijiang. When Yulan, a country woman, finds out about the show, she races back home to her village to tell everyone the news, feed the pigs, cook dinner and get the kid ready. We watch her as her whole day is permeated by her rising excitement of going to the movies. This film is not a depiction of a form of popular culture, but rather a tribute to a dying cinematic experience.
