1940年代的大后方重庆,一间物产丰富却总是赔钱的树华农场,一场明争暗斗在新旧两个农场主任之间上演。这部根据老舍小说改编的影片似乎叙述了一个永不过时的人间寓言。Shot in stylish black-and-white, this three-act fable, set in wartime Chongqing, focuses on the indifferent rich, the head clerk on a farm, and some young intruders. Based on a 1943 short story, the film was directed by noted screenwriter Mei Feng.
