Synopse

Somewhere under a cloudy sky in an undefined corner of the North Chinese provinces, a shifty salesman arrives in a desolate little town. His case is full of miracle soap, whose aroma is seductive and its effects devastating. But the salesman's dodgy deals aren't the only shady things going on in this town, where even the local policemen and monks don't take the law or the truth that seriously. Geng Jun confronts the protagonists in his very black comedy with an absurd world that they can only counter with dry humour and a laconic attitude.
