One day, her father gets arressted because of prostitution and she is called to the police. One policeman comes closer to her and her mind is taken by him.
In the crowded and busy streets of industrial developing city, Chongqing, Xuie dreams to escape from her painful and hopeless life.
Notes
- Chongqing was originally slated to be only the first half/Chinese portion of a seperate full length film. But, after shooting the Chinese portion and producing more footage than planned, Lu Zhang decided to make an entire movie out of the "Chongqing" segment. Subsquently Zhang Lu re-wrote the second half part of the film, which then became the film "Iri".
