Story:

One woman, nearing 80, is living out the last two years of her life. From when she is still using a cane to walk, to when she becomes paralyzed, she is always relying on others to live life. This is my grandmother. We also see other elderly people from the village, their daily activities, the tales of their starvation from 50 years ago. This film rests on these lives: a woman suffering and struggling as she faces oncoming death, and these people who narrate for us the history of rural starvation.

导演通过这群老人的口述历史和对他们的生活状态赤裸的纪录，描绘出了一种边缘而真实的生活，记下了一段需要反覆谈论与回忆的历史。
