"During China's cultural revolution of the 1960s, Ma and Luo, a couple of teenage students are exiled to a remote mountain village for 're-education.' Their new life is made of endless hard labour until the day they meet the beautiful daughter of the local tailor. Together they discover a hidden stash of the great works of literature in Chinese translation. Luo seduces the Little Seamstress by reading to her from his favorite author, Balzac. As she begins to understand the world beyond the mountains, she joins Luo in a sensual journey beyond words or history"--Container.
