Plot summary: A pregnant peasant woman seeks redress from the Chinese
bureaucracy after the village chief kicks her husband in the groin in
this comedy of justice. As she is frustrated by each level of the
hierarchy and travels farther and farther away from the countryside
the viewer is also provided with a look at changing Chinese society
through the verite camera used in most scenes. (Summary written by
