Comedy and drama collide in Xu Lei’s clever tale of dashed dreams and wishful thinking. Wayward screenwriter Wei Fei spends his days drinking when his father, Lao Wei, unexpectedly arrives from their village carrying pottery discovered beneath his demolished home—possibly a valuable artifact. While Lao Wei urges Wei Fei to investigate the object’s worth, he learns his supposedly successful son may not be nearing his big break after all. Perhaps both father and son share equal gullibility about fortune and fame. With wry humor and heartfelt insight, Xu Lei solidifies his reputation in contemporary Chinese cinema through this amusing, heartwarming exploration of family bonds and self-delusion.
