When his workmate dies after a heavy drinking session, Zhao decides to keep his promise and take Liu's body home to be buried. With next to no money and a corpse on his back Zhao sets off on a tragicomic odyssey across China meeting a whole host of strange, sad, and helpful people along the way. Funny, sharp and well-observed satire alternates with moving moments, the film mixes the mundane and the bizarre to great effect as it shifts effortlessly between melodrama and slapstick visual comedy.

Pan fod ffrind mynwesol Zhao yn marw wedi sesiwn yfed go hegar, mae am gadw'i addewid a mynd a'i gorff yn ôl i gartref Liu. Does ganddo ddim ceiniog goch y delyn ond drwy gymorth y natur ddynol a phenderfyniad mae'n cyrraedd pen ei daith.
