Old Beast

Lao Yang is a man in his sixties. He once had money. His business went under years ago. Not much is left in his hands. His three children are grown and have families of their own. His wife is confined to bed. He is responsible for her care. But his days fill up with other things. He keeps a mistress. He chases after debts owed to him. He gambles at the mahjong table. His children do not accept how he lives. Tension grows between the father and his children. The reckoning inside the family sharpens. Tu Men and Wang Chaobei appear in the one hundred eleven minute film, a Chinese production Zhou Ziyang finished in 2017.
