Les Xu vivent dans un petit village traditionnel de la province du Hubei. Leur existence est bouleversée lorsque des fonctionnaires du service gouvernemental des eaux leur annoncent qu'ils font partie des 800 000 personnes qui vont devoir déménager dans le cadre d'un projet colossal de détournement du cours des rivières du sud du pays pour alimenter les villes du nord, en particulier Pékin.
Last Harvest follows the remarkable journey of an elderly Chinese farming couple as they are being relocated by the government's mammoth and controversial South-to-North Water Diversion Project. Lyrical and intimate, the film brings us into the life of two compelling peasants facing major disruption late in life and continues the story where other documentaries left off - after the people have been relocated and have to re-build their lives. If offers a direct experience of the collision between traditional culture and modernization, through which we see the imminent extinction of Old China as New China emerges.
