Description
During the tumultuous Cultural Revolution, two city-bred youths are sent to a remote mountain village for reeducation, their lives starkly altered by the harsh realities of rural China. Their existence takes an unexpected turn when they encounter the Little Chinese Seamstress and a secret trove of forbidden Western literature. As they share these transformative stories with her, their world expands beyond the confines of their village, igniting both intellectual curiosity and the stirrings of young love.
