The Aged Spring

Overview

On the outskirts of Yichang, Hubei province, on a hill called "Jianshan", where the director's father was once deported decades ago, an elderly couple in their eighties, a three-legged cat and a calf with autism live there. The couple, who have been together for 60 years, have conceived seven or eight children, all of whom have died one after another due to various misfortunes, with the longest surviving child being in his 40s. The two old men live as vicissitudes and persistence as the old stone house they live in.
