边陲小镇长大的乔妍(赵丽颖 饰)打拼多年之后成为了一名知名演员,但在重重压力之下,一路走来小心翼翼。随着一条匿名的勒索消息,让一桩尘封往事成为她新的阴影。同时,多年前失联的姐姐(辛芷蕾 饰)突然现身,事情看似巧合,但背后又暗藏更大的危机。 影片改编自张悦然的小说《大乔小乔》。
As the film opens on an Oklahoma farm during the depression, two simultaneous visitors literally hit the Wagoneer home: a ruinous dust storm and a convertible crazily driven by Red, the missus' brother. A roguish country-western musician, he has just been invited to audition for the Grand Ole Opry, his chance of a lifetime to become a success. However, this is way back in Nashville, Red clearly drives terribly, and he's broke and sick with tuberculosis to boot. Whit, 14, seeing his own chance of a lifetime to avoid "growing up to be a cotton picker all my life," begs Ma to let him go with Uncle Red as driver and protege. Thus begins a picaresque journey both hilarious and poignant.
