Synopsis
Offers an authentic everyday portrait of the microcosm that is a police station in the border regions, where the impact of China's economic boom has not been felt. Reinforced units fight crime, though the results are often confused and grotesque despite the diligence of the inexperienced young officers. The documentary uncovers the real human stories and key themes from a China that is both regimented and rapacious, providing an insight into how the social structure is influenced by omnipresent police repression.
