故事梗概Synopsis：
一个年轻西方男子在中国南部一处偏僻的河岸被发现时，全身赤裸。他被带回当地的警署问话，却不言不语。在这种情况下，即使男子并没有犯法，警方却难以就这样由他离开，于是把他送往医院接受观察。
男子在医院裡依然沉默，彷彿被记忆和梦魇所困，而院方的照料似乎只导致他的情况更糟糕。在医院裡，男看护小江对西方男子多加照顾，即使二人语言不通，却互相感到一种莫名的亲切感。
当小江知道西方男子即将被送往精神病院时，他毅然救他出来，并把他暂置在他舅舅的村裡。就在小江思巧下一步的行动之前，他意外发现西方男子的一个秘密，从而得知他不可告人的过去…
A mysterious Westerner appears on a riverbank in a remote part of southern China one day, completely naked. He is taken to the local police station, where he refuses to speak. The police debate what to do. Strictly speaking, the man has not broken any laws. On the other hand they cannot simply let him go. Finally they decide to send the man to the hospital.
At the hospital, the Westerner still remains silent. He seems to be haunted by nightmares and scenes from his past. The doctor’s ministrations seem to make matters worse. Meanwhile, the Westerner forms a strange bond with the hospital’s orderly, Jiang. Even though they don’t share a language, they nevertheless share a common bond. When he learns that the Westerner is about to be transferred to a mental asylum, Jiang decides to rescue the Westerner.
Jiang takes the Westerner to his uncle’s village. As he plans what to do with the Westerner, Jiang accidentally discovers a secret about him that provides a key to the mysterious stranger’s past…

导演阐述Director’s Statement：
影片的灵感来自于“钢琴男人”。几年前，在英格兰东海岸发现的一个落难者。他的身上没有身份证件，并且他拒绝开口讲话。他们把他送到了精神病院。于是他接触到了一架钢琴并开始演奏。故事围绕着他作为一个疯狂的天才音乐家展开，如同《闪灵》中的那个人。在现实中，他是一个来自德国的有精神问题的同性恋学生。我把这个故事移植到中国因为我想看看这样一个人物在这里会发生什么。这个影片藉由两种思路：从西方视角看中国的同性恋者，以及从中方视角看西方人。
The inspiration for the film came from the “Piano Man”, a guy who washed up off the eastern coast of England a few years ago. There was no ID on him and he refused to speak, so they took him to a mental hospital. He was given a piano and started playing, and stories became circulating of him being a musical genius who went mad, like the guy in Shine. In reality he was a gay student from Germany who had a mental breakdown. I transplanted the story to China because I wanted to see what would happen to such a character there. The film goes both ways: it is about homosexuality in China from a Western perspective, and also about Chinese perception of Westerners.
