Houou: Waga Ai plot
'Crossing Over' shows prison life as a microcosm of Chinese society: bureaucracy, punctuality, barbarism and sexual oppression, but also resilience, loyalty and altruism. The focus is on the innocent Liang Jianwang and Liu Lang, an orphan who was thrown in prison in 1920 for wounding someone who threatened his then lover. Through joint labor, Liu comes into contact with Zhou Hong, a woman sentenced to death whose sentence is postponed because she is pregnant. Both fall in love and hope to one day live happily together, a hope that will be tested for decades.
