中国北方某小镇，少女在黑夜的陪伴下回到这里，故事由此展开。一顿不畅快的晚餐，一盒烟的娱乐，没有身份的奇怪男子，热闹喧嚣的麻将馆，失意沉闷的护士，害怕老婆的杀猪匠等，一个小社会里的各色人等被少年的一次次的闯入连接了起来，而这场杀戮是直接了当和毫不犹豫的，包括对自己也是一样的。

随着科技的发展，人与人之间的交流越来越少，社会也变得冷漠起来，本片通过二十个借喻制作了一部手绘实验影像，希望更多的人能看到，希望人间能充满爱。

In the title of this film we have the diagnosis of a mental illness. The title of George Bernard Shaw's play Heartbreak House is a formula-symbol introduced by the great British wit in order to describe Europe before the First World War. The Russian filmmaker discerned and brilliantly developed Russian Chekhovian roots of the play in his saturated with associations cinematographic composition. This was a feast of Sokurov's imagination and an anthology of almost all of his devises to be subsequently developed. Here one could find a model of a set, closely imitating the real surrounding, documentary shots juxtaposed to the deformed image, a mask of Shaw himself, and non-professional performers next to the celebrated Georgian actor Ramaz Tchkhickvadze. 　　The film had scandalized the powers that be as early as during the process of production which had been several times interrupted and banned by various structures of officialdom — until the film was eventually released in the beginning of Perestroika, in 1987. Perhaps nowadays one of the most important for the director themes — the defenselessness of man, hiding in the house as in a cocoon in the attempt to evade the horrors of history and the problems of existence — sounds more articulately than ever. And the defense — science, technic, culture — civilization — may crash any time and crush 'proud' humankind. 　　The film took part in the competition program of the XXXVII International Cinema Festival in Western Berlin in 1988 and got FIPRESSI award at the XV International Festival in Moscow and Special award in the memory of Andrei Tarkovsky (1987).
