Summary:
Spans the turbulent 1980s by following four performers in the state-run Peasant Culture Group. Based in Fenyang, the director's hometown in the remote province of Shanxi, these 'artworkers' praise the late Chairman Mao with approved revolutionary classics. When Deng Xiaoping institutes an 'open door' cultural policy and China begins to move toward Western-influenced consumer capitalism, the newly privatized group starts to sport spandex and play electric gulters ... until dreams are deferred.
