Two city boys are exiled to a remote village for ‘re-education‘ during China‘s Cultural Revolution. There they are required to perform manual labour until such time the authorities decide. In the village they discover a hidden stash of banned Western classics in Chinese translation and devoured them secretly, finding escape from their bleak surroundings to worlds they‘ve never imagined.
