Old Stone begins as a carefully observed social-realist drama and turns into a furious, bloody noir. For taxi driver Lao Shi, every day of work is a fight for his family’s basic economic survival. One day, he accidentally hits a motorcyclist and when he drives the injured man to the hospital himself, he is plunged into a bureaucratic nightmare and faced with financial ruin.
