The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Country Couple (originaltittel: Xiang yin, på norsk: "Landsby-aksent") er en kinesisk dramafilm fra 1983 regissert av Hu Bingdang. Filmen handler om en ung selvoppofrende bondekone som strekker seg til det ytterste for barna og ektemannens velvære. Ektemannen tar hennes bestrebelser for gitt, men når hun blir alvorlig syk innser han at han har lagt en altfor tung bør på henne. Handlingen er lagt til den kinesisk landsbygda. Den skildrer den skiftende kjønnsdynamikken i 1980-årenes Kina, og husmorrollen spesifikt. Hovedrollene spilles av Zhang Weixin og Liu Yan. Den ble kåret til beste film ved Gullhanen.
