Buzzing with nail-biting suspense and clever humor, Chinese filmmaker Li Yuhe’s feature debut portrays a puzzling crime that happens in a rural small town, where greed, lust and wit battle it out in one night. It all starts with a sexually impotent motel owner who hires a pro to murder his cheating wife. Everything goes exactly as planned until two blind daters, a robber, a policeman, and a dead body unexpectedly arrive. Confident, informed and effortless, Absurd Accident welcomes the audience to a new chapter in the Chinese indie film scene.
