In 1983, Ma Jian, a thirty-year-old dissident artist, leaves Beijing and spends three years travelling through the most remote corners of China after his divorce, separation from his daughter, and a threat of arrest for «Spiritual Pollution». His itinerary, from polluted cities to mountain villages, reveals the country's contradictions from within and without.
