导演自述： 　　芭雅，在壮语都安方言里是老祖母的意思。我知道片中的芭雅是在北京南锣鼓巷朴道草堂书店一次关于留守儿童的讲座上。书店不大的厅里挤满了人，我只能挤在一个看不见主讲人和屏幕的角落，听完近两个小时的讲座和Q&A。主讲人赵俊超博士是国务院发展研究中心的副研究员，他在广西都安调查五年，出版了《中国留守儿童调查》一书。本来我感兴趣的是“留守儿童”，但是在他的讲述中，有一个老奶奶吸引了我：她失去了七个儿子中的六个，还扶养着六七个儿子们留下的孤儿。因为看不到屏幕上的图片，我想象着她的样子，对她产生了敬仰和好奇：一个女人，怎么能经历这么多孩子的死，还能继续活下来。

The film starts out with a young taxi driver who runs into his drunken father at a horse race. They go back to the younger man’s apartment where his girlfriend is wandering around butt-naked, and the father attacks her. Later the taxi driver and the girlfriend go to a swank party, and while he makes it with an attractive blonde in a back room, his girlfriend ends up running into her younger, rather homely but free-spirited sister who is the star of a Warholesque “art” film showing at the party. After a bizarre family reunion/birthday party, the older sister/girlfriend takes off for Copenhagen, while the younger sister pursues a nude modelling career with her much more attractive friend (Christina Lindberg). She also tries to seduce her sister’s philandering boyfriend (the taxi driver), but he is much more interested in the Lindberg character, doing her on her living room couch while her own oblivious (or apathetic) boyfriend is passed out a few feet away. The focus then shifts to the Lindberg character who it turns out is being abused by her boyfriend (he screws her in a stable and makes her do housework in the nude for some reason). There’s also a “McGuffin” involving a shipment of drugs hidden in a fur coat which eventually results somehow in all three of the leading actresses doing a bottomless can-can dance…

He has split with his girlfriend Suzanne (Richmond) and is having problems writing his book.

As a result, she shoots them both dead. Meanwhile, Paul keeps having nightmares and all his advances on Linda are rejected. He gets Suzanne to come back and she begins having sex with Linda. Paul then crashes into a river, while Suzanne is murdered in the bathtub and everything erupts into a pandemonium of violence.
