In the northwestern mountainous region of Yunnan, with towering peaks and layered ridges, more than a dozen ethnic minorities are scattered among the mountains, living a peaceful and simple life. Over fifty, Old Feng (played by Li Baotian) is a county judge. To resolve disputes among the villagers in the mountains, they periodically ride horses and carry the national emblem as they travel between villages, forming a unique and solemn mobile court. This trip involves three people: Mosuo ethnic group clerk Aunt Yang (played by Yang Yanning), who has collaborated with Old Feng for many years and is now retired; this is their final collaboration. Yi ethnic university student Alo (played by Lu Yulai) takes over Aunt Yang's position; he, full of scholarly air, is quite different from the experienced Old Feng. This journey is both his first work attempt and his honeymoon. On the winding mountain roads, they leave behind both joy and sorrow... The film won the Best Film of Horizons at the 63rd Venice International Film Festival.
