Guo Yuan - The Orchard

Two men in the orchard. But the idyllic scene is misleading. They will commit two murders by avarice. Wang Bo and Li Xiaojian have been friends since childhood. Like brothers. Wang Bo’s mother is very ill. She needs a new kidney. That’s why they kill the girl Xiaojian had an appointment with in a hotel room. They could offer the second kidney for sale. Shortly afterwards it’s Wang Bo’s lover’s turn, for her car which will be so easy to sell. He lures her into the woods. Time is passing. There is a sound. Then Wang Bo comes back. He is alone. In the end, the two men hide from the police in the orchard again. A bitter parable on social conditions in China.
