Overview:	Set in China in the middle of the Cultural Revolution in the early 1970s, in a small village where the intellectuals are "re-educated" by the peasants, the film focuses on three people. Ma is a violinist. Her friend has renamed one of Mozart's sonatas "Mozart Thinks About Chairman Mao" in order to please the village head. The two accomplices meet a little seamstress with whom they hatch an amorous and literary plot, through the medium of literary classics by Flaubert, Dumas, Tolstoy, and Balzac, that they read in secret.
