In 1970s China, a young woman, Gu Shan, is executed for her loss of faith in Communism. Her father is unable to accept what his rebellious daughter has become, while her mother is devastated by the loss of her only child.

The citizens of her own town, including seven year old Tong, crippled Nini, the idler Bashi and beautiful Kai, unite in protest over her death. But the thing that brought them together can also tear them tragically apart, and over the following weeks, they go through uncertainty, hope and fear, until the rebellion is brutally suppressed.
