Synopsis
A rural Catholic church located at the foot of Qinling Mountain is the Catholic pilgrimage site in CN. A group of hard-working villagers share the faith that God bless them. The previous Village-head who is corrupted steps down on Christmas Day, 2008 after the village-wide votes, and a new one takes office. However, the long-expected “new” head acts exactly like the “old” one. The monastery of the rural church is destroyed by the floods in 2009. So the priest travels extensively, raising money for the reinforcement of the church. In spring, 2010, the raised money is still unfortunately not enough for the reinforcement. The priest decides to take a chance to promote his reinforcement plan on the annual Pilgrimage Day. Just when the day is about to come, the government officials from the city who are in charge of religious work appear without any expectation...
