During the Japanese occupation of China, two prisoners are dumped in a peasant's
home in a small town. The owner is bullied into keeping the prisoners until the
next New Year, at which time they will be collected. The village leaders convene
to interrogate the prisoners. The townspeople then struggle to accommodate
the prisoners. One is a bellicose Japanese nationalist, the other a nervous
translator. Will the townspeople manage to keep the prisoners until the New Year?
