Synopsis

Deep in the quiet Ailao Mountains, the fire pits that have burned for thousands of years are about to be extinguished. At this moment, 14-year-old Hani and 12-year-old Pushkar face hurdles to their marriage plans. Hani asks his idle brother-in-law about how he can get the dowry money for his impending wedding. At the encouragement of his brother-in-law, Hani steals the silver buckle of Pushkar's grandmother to exchange for money. Meanwhile, Ms. Tian, a poverty relief cadre who came to this place to carry on an affair with her professor, becomes a glimmer of hope to Pushkar. Pushkar plans to use Ms. Tian's sympathy to get relief money for the dowry. After getting the money for the silver buckle, Hani achieves a sense of false satisfaction. However, when Pushkar's grandmother faints from the robbery, Hani realises that he will lose Pushkar forever this way. He decides to turn himself in, but under the influence of drugs, he joins his brother-in-law's plan to rape Ms. Tian. This “orgy” of the village boys destroys Hani and Pushkar’s love for good.
