Shaozhen has no intention of staying in his remote Henan village and
becoming another poor farmer: he'll finish school, and then, hopefully,
work in a factory in one of the major cities, just like his father. But
when Shaozhen returns home for the summer holidays, imagining days
filled with nothing but playing basketball with his friends, he's in for
a shock. The worst drought in more than years threatens the crops that
the entire village relies on for income. As the water situation becomes
dire, Shaozhen realizes he must come up with a plan. But will it be
enough to save his family and friends and secure the future of his
village?
