Meticulous reconstruction of an everyday event in China that culminates in a public execution. The title refers to the Chinese government policy by which dissidents are executed in order to frighten off others. In a breathtakingly beautiful opening scene, we see the gruesome conclusion of a series of apparently chance events. In eight powerful scenes, the fateful story is told of someone who just happened to be passing.
Jens Assur (1970, Sweden) is a photographer and filmmaker. At the age of 16 he started work as a journalist for the Swedish daily newspaper Dagbladet in Sundsvall. After that he worked for several advertising companies, newspapers and magazines as a photographer.
