The story in this film tells a story that happened in God's Pocket, a dilapidated industrial town in the United States. It tells the story of the couple's children in the small town after their children died violently. People and things.

The whole film begins with the funeral ceremony. The camera shows the main characters in the small town who attended the ceremony in the church, and then flashbacks the storyline to let the audience understand the cause of the child’s death, the reason for the conflict between the husband and the wife, and other things in the town. The performance of the characters on this stage, the protagonist of the final story of the film leaves the deserted industrial town to Florida to start life again.

The dirty and chaotic streets under the movie lens, the humiliated workers, the violent and disorderly law and order, the hypocritical and lecherous intellectuals, the depressed economy, the closed-out folk customs, all these make me feel like I am watching this movie. The story does not take place in the United States now, but in the Northeast Tiexi District, where tens of thousands of people were laid off during the reform of state-owned enterprises. I have to lament that the proletariat in the world is one family, and unfortunate families are often similar.

If the story takes place in an industrial area or small town in the Northeast, it may be the following style of painting:

Lao Mi and Sister Zhan are a half-way couple in Yudi Kutou District. They are exemplary and harmonious. They have a half-sized stepson. The child is brought by Sister Zhan. However, the old Mi people are more open-minded, and they still regard their stepsons as themselves. The child born to see. Lao Mi has a classic car that is a driver who runs goods. He usually makes money by giving friends to the port to make money. Sister Zhan doesn't have a job. She usually does housework at home to accompany her sisters and chatter. She is not rich, but she can make do with it.

The stepchildren don’t honestly like to cause trouble. They work on the construction site and provoke black workers, but they are killed. Foremen, bosses and workers just think the stepsons are not pleasing to the eye, and they don’t want to cause trouble for themselves, so they join forces and say 110 It is said that the child died unexpectedly when he failed to abide by the safety production regulations. The couple, who were suspicious and sad in their hearts, asked someone to find a relationship to investigate the cause of their child's death, and on the other hand they began to raise money for the funeral of the child.

Laomi’s partner, Bird Brother, has been doing business by smuggling, but the recent bad economic situation coupled with his own gambling habits, he owed a lot of loan sharks, wanted to do a few big tickets and lost his own account because of betting on horses. Uncertain, the project payment owed to Lao Mi could not be settled, so Lao Mi had no money to pay for the funeral expenses and money for the morgue for the children. There was no other way but to put the children in the refrigerated compartment of the truck. One family was in trouble and many helped. Although the big guys in the street pub raised some money, it was still not enough. They bargained for the funeral and had a fight with the funeral goddess. They were embarrassed.

On the other hand, Sister Zhan begged for help in investigating the cause of the child’s death. It happened that the reporter of the people’s livelihood section in the city had also heard about this incident. In order to cope with the boss’s reminder, Sister Zhan came here to interview Sister Zhan. Sister Zhan went to the doctor and asked reporters for help, but that reporter Se Mimi When I fell in love with Sister Zhan, she had to give her a shot before she was willing to help. Sister Zhan, who has big breasts and big breasts, is a lover, so she took advantage of the trend and came to a wild cannon with the old pervert to vent her fire. The whole neighborhood knows.

Brother Bird finally broke out with his creditor, and the focus of his action was to kill the person, so he packed up and ran to Hainan Island to hide, and told Lao Mi that he could visit him when he had time. Sister Zhan blames Laomi for his inability, and she has no choice but to think of a trick to get money, which is to sell her small truck for money. As a result, the driver who bought the second-hand car mishandled and threw the body of her stepson out. This incident finally appeared on the social page of the local newspaper. Sister Zhan’s attitude towards Laomi was even worse. At this time, Laomi was already feeling cold, and she wanted to make her own grievances as a result of a hard work.

The journalist didn’t count himself. He went to Sister Zhan and was beaten by the guys in the district. Laomi came out to persuade him and was scolded as a foreign counselor. After recognizing these people, he sadly left the district and went south to look for his good friend, the bird family. . The story ends here.
