In this biting satire, a woman from the countryside named Li Xuelian (played by Fan Bingbing) takes on the Chinese government and society in a decade-long battle for justice.

From the local police station to the highest courts in Beijing, Li faces off against corrupt officials, patriarchal norms, and societal expectations. Will Li's unyielding determination triumph over the bureaucratic machine, or will she succumb to the pressures of a rigged system?
