A horrifying story about social apathy and a dehumanizing legislative system, based on a series of real life cases from the crime pages of Chinese newspapers. Lao Shi is a taxi driver in an overpopulated Chinese town, who is barely making ends meet. One night, he causes an accident, hitting a motorcyclist. The ambulance is taking forever, the crowds are recording with their phones, but no one is eager to help. Breaking an unspoken protocol, Lao takes matters in his own hands and drives the victim to the hospital. Thus begins his sudden fall into the merciless grip of the bureaucratic system which perceives humanity and solidarity as faults, not virtues.
