电影史上极其异类的电影. 　　全片的主角竟是一头驴。透过驴的眼睛，冷冷地注视着这个世界。驴在不同人的手中被虐待、被贩卖，最终被杀，透露出来的却是同样的主题。This is the story of a donkey and the somewhat difficult life it leads. During a summer holiday, the baby donkey is a child's pet but when they return home, it begins it's life of misery. It works as a farm animal, pulling a delivery cart and working as any manner as various owners require of it.
