Gaosan plot

What does it mean in China to take a university entrance exam? "Senior Year" leaves no doubt. Graduation students in a backward rural district are pressured on a campus to outdo themselves in this 'war without gunfire'. They must uphold not only the honor of their parents but also that of their school. It's all about the highest quota. Director Zhou Hao spent the entire exam year on campus. His rhythmic and detailed account gives a brutal and intimate picture of the conservative Chinese school system, in which class awareness and the generation gap play a major role.
