在这部算命纪录片片中,

Li Baicheng is a charismatic fortune teller who services a clientele of prostitutes and marginalized figures whose jobs, like his, are commonplace but technically illegal in China. He practices his ancient craft in a village near Beijing while taking care of his deaf and dumb wife Pearl, who he rescued from her family's mistreatment. Winter brings a police crackdown on both fortune tellers and prostitutes, forcing Li and Pearl into temporary exile in his hometown, where he revisits old family demons. His humble story is told with chapter headings similar to Qing Dynasty popular fiction.

算命是无能为力之后唯一的寄托。卫西谛评《算命》：倒在江湖无人过。徐童，扛着摄像机的游吟诗人。上帝抽走了什么。看完这个纪录片我不婚的想法动摇了。算命。给粗粝现实上点美色。你们不懂游民的善良和自尊。请一定用心接受这清光。老天爷饿不死瞎家雀！！！。
