有智能障碍的卡尔生活在一个宗教气氛浓厚的家庭。父母认为卡尔的迟钝是上帝对他们的惩罚，因而对儿子百般虐待。有一天，卡尔无意中撞见自己的母亲正与镇上拉皮条的亲热，一怒之下用一把弹簧刀将两人杀死。在精神病院关了25年后，卡尔回到镇上，所有人都不把他当正常人看待，男孩弗兰克真心待他，还把他带进自己的家庭。但是，弗兰克守寡的母亲有个酒鬼男友，他动不动就大打出手，其恶霸行为搅得全家不得安宁。于是，卡尔决意为弗兰克解决问题。

天生智能障碍的卡尔（比利•鲍伯•松顿 Billy Bob Thornton 饰）生于一个不幸的家庭：迷信宗教的父母总把他当作上天对他们的惩罚，因而十分厌恶他，老是虐打他。自小生活在阴影中的卡尔，8岁的某天撞见了母亲和一名拉皮条的人偷情，压抑的情绪瞬间爆发，他用弹簧刀将两人都刺死了。自此以后的25年岁月里，卡尔都在精神病院里度过。 　　出院那天，无家可归的卡尔被精神病院的管理员收留了一个晚上，这是他第一次感到人间的温暖。出院后，人们都想躲瘟神般躲着卡尔，直至他遇上了好友弗兰克（卢卡斯•布莱克 Lucas Black 饰）。弗兰克将他当成自己最好的朋友，卡尔在生活里看到了阳光。然而最近，弗兰克一家被其母亲的酒鬼男友搞得鸡犬不宁。看到朋友受罪，忍无可忍的卡尔，决定挺身而出。

The "Dagger Debs" are a gang of snarling girls, and Maggie is their newest member. Lace, the ever tooth-gritting leader, befriends her but soon has doubts --it seems Lace's man, Dominic, head of the "Silver Daggers" fancies the new recruit. Lace struggles to keep control of the Debs, and a handle on Nick, as they face off against the rival gang of pushers lead by Crabs. 　　The Silver Daggers are a gang of young hoods who control an inner-city high school, where they sell drugs and sex to the student body and fight anyone who gets in their way. The Daggers have a ladies' auxiliary, The Dagger Debs, who rumble just as hard as the men, but one day chief Dagger Deb Lace meets her match in Maggie, a new kid who won't back down. When a scuffle lands Maggie and the Debs in jail for the night, Maggie comes to Lace's rescue, and Maggie becomes Lace's new right-hand woman. However, fellow Deb Patch is jealous of Maggie's friendship with Lace, and begins spinning a web of deceit to destroy Lace's trust in the new deb. In the midst of the infighting, the Silver Daggers find their turf challenged by a rival gang who pose as a community action team, and the Debs join forces with a revolutionary political group.

从二十一世纪初开始，大量中国人涌入阿联酋。如今光是迪拜一座城市，便有超过二十万的华人居住。在这个国家最凉爽的天气里，针灸师李医生一如既往地在去诊所上班；刚满十八岁的华人大学生Ain获得了她的驾照；在龙城工作的小郑和蝌蚪，依旧忙碌不停；华人基督教会在这个伊斯兰教国家举办了圣诞活动；在工地挥汗的华工，则继续忍耐生活的苦闷和无趣……

Waves coming and going on an empty beach. Various people, from children to the elderly, appear one by one on the beach. And, within the rhythm of the waves, each repeats their own actions. 　　源自：https://www.locarnofestival.ch/festival/program/film.html?fid=8401d810-203a-4133-a799-e9021e602d97
