中国・雲南省の隔離された精神病院に3カ月半密着。前後二編で構成されたドキュメンタリー。その病院には、暴力的な患者、非暴力的な患者、法的に精神異常というレッテルを貼られた者、薬物中毒やアルコール中毒の者、さらには、政治的な陳情行為をした者や「一人っ子政策」に違反した者、20年以上にわたる入院生活を送る者など、さまざまな患者が暮らし、「入院」というより「収容」といった様相を呈している。社会から隔絶された鉄格子の中でも互いにいたわりあい、愛を求める患者たちの日常を寄り添うように撮影し、その実態を映し出していく。

The character of this story lives far from the worlds of the material and the spirit. He has built his own subsistence conditions. He often goes to the neighboring villages, although he doesn’t communicate with other people. He collects some waste but doesn’t beg. He prowls about the ruins of deserted villages, as an animal or as a ghost. Under double political and economical pressure, most of people are depriving of their last dignity into a world where it exists a lack of material and spirit. But a human being stays a human being. He is looking for reasons to continue to live. —Wang Bing
