Synopsis

In a riverside town in rural China in the 1990s, detective inspector Ma is charged with investigating the murder of ‘Granny No 4’ in a neighbouring village of only 50 families. As the case stalls, Inspector Ma must dive deeper into the hidden behaviour of the locals, and the darkness of the human soul.

This enigmatic, progressively more engrossing noir is director Wei Shujun’s third consecutive feature to premiere at Cannes in three years.
