The film is set in a period between 1971 and 1974, during the later stage of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Two city boys in their late teenage years, Luo Min (played by Chen Kun) and Ma Jianling (Liu Ye), are on their way to a remote village in the mountainous Sichuan province for re-education. Upon arrival, the boys are questioned on their "reactionary backgrounds" by the Chief (Chen Tianlu), the village leader, in the presence of the other villagers. Luo's father turns out to be a dentist who had once fitted a false tooth for Chiang Kai-shek, while Ma's father is a doctor. The Chief also examines the boys' luggage and burns a cookbook, which he claims to be bourgeois. He is about to throw Ma's violin into the fire as well before he is stopped by Luo, who lies that the Mozart's Divertimento KV 334 Ma plays is a "mountain song" titled Mozart is Thinking of Chairman Mao.

The movie starts off with a man, named Schlomo (Lionel Abelanski), running crazily through a forest, with his voice playing in the background, saying that he has seen the horror of the Nazis in a nearby town, and he must tell the others. Once he gets into town, he informs the rabbi, and together they run through the town and once they have got enough people together, they hold a town meeting. At first, many of the men do not believe the horrors they are being told, and many criticize Schlomo, for he is the town lunatic, and who could possibly believe him? But the rabbi believes him, and then they try to tackle the problem of the coming terrors. Amidst the pondering and the arguing, Schlomo suggests that they build a train, so they can escape by deporting themselves. Some of their members pretend to be Nazis in order to ostensibly transport them to a concentration camp, when in reality, they are going to Palestine via Russia. Thus the Train of Life is born.

Certaines ressemblances sont troublantes. Ainsi celle de ce vicomte guillotiné, pipe au bec, pendant la terreur, d'un aumônier militaire au torse tatoué comme un truand et baptisant à la chaîne des militaires, pilleurs et violeurs, avec un clochard parisien réduit à l'état de planche par un rouleau compresseur et finalement d'un concierge lettré - mais aussi trafiquant d'armes - d'un gros immeuble. Presque tous les personnages du film se croisent dans cet immeuble, sauf bien sûr les sans-abri que les flics transbahutent d'un lieu à l'autre sans ménagement. Et pourtant au milieu de tout ce chaos, il y a des espaces de rêve, des histoires d'amour, de solides amitiés qui peut-être nous permettent d'espérer que demain sera mieux qu'aujourd'hui.
