Once upon a time, there was a strange black cat in a long trenchcoat with no friends, no home, and no purpose in life. However, one day, an encounter with a scarecrow sets the black cat off on a mysterious quest to answer a single question: What is the most precious thing in the world?

A noir-tinged story about a solitary man haunted by loss and regret. From director Bi Gan, the film was China's biggest arthouse hit of all time.
