During the 1942 famine, with his house beset by starving villagers, Landlord Fan attempts to calm the crowd by preparing a feast. However, his house is burned down in the chaos, prompting Fan, his teenage daughter, his servant, and his tenant to embark on a treacherous journey south, struggling for survival as war with Japan looms on the horizon. Along the way, they encounter an American journalist, a judge and a priest who has lost his faith.
