A short film full of black humor, the story takes place in the small town of Hegang in the northeast -- the hometown of first-time filmmaker Jun Geng. A large group of young people wander the margins of society, living on the streets, hunkering down in Internet cafes; they have no money, no faith in the system.
Under a tin-gray sky, in a hollowed out corner of northern China, a stranger arrives in town bearing magical soap—but smelling it will cost you. Nearby, a pair of unenthused cops try cracking a seemingly simple case. Or not. And you can forget religious solace; the only monk around is not what he seems.
