60岁的家长顾中先有一个令人称羡的家庭，儿子顾天、女儿顾心，和续弦的妻子江萍。江萍虽为后母，但孩子们和她的关系非常好。顾家是本地最具代表性的书香门第，这个家庭有着传统的价值观和道德观，它是当代中国家庭的一个缩影。顾家有幅画，是宋徽宗的《双禽图》，祖上传的，但是假画。然而，这年春节，一个偶然的因素，大家发现，这幅画是真画，价值连城……。The subtitle of Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet’s first feature, from 1965, “Only Violence Helps Where Violence Reigns,” suggests the fierce political program evoked by their rigorous aesthetic.
