第34届圣丹斯电影节：评委会特别奖最佳集体表演奖
A mysterious stream of pig carcasses floats silently toward China’s populous
economic hub, Shanghai. As authorities struggle to explain the phenomenon, a
down-and-out pig farmer with a youthful heart struggles to make ends meet,
while an upwardly mobile landowner fights gentrification against an American
expatriate seeking a piece of the Chinese dream. Meanwhile, a romantic busboy
hides his job from his father, while a rich young woman struggles to find her
independence. Like a mosaic, their stories intersect and converge in a
showdown between human and machine, past and future, brother and sister.
