一個流浪歌手走進了葵花鎮，用結他和歌聲淡淡訴說一個愛情故事。
六年前，少年馬小剛迷上了純潔的女教師阿美，他偷偷地寄信給她，但信中永遠只有幾瓣葵花。阿美不知寄信人是誰，只憧憬著一段美好的愛情。一天，她在葵花遍地的原野上躺下來享受烈日的溫暖時，青春誘人的身軀令途經的馬小剛不禁闖上前去……
六年後，馬小剛出獄返回故鄉，並選擇了沉默地生活，可是燦爛艷舞的朵朵葵花，刺激了他再去尋找阿美的勇氣，再次不斷地寄出葵花瓣。一天，阿美出現了，可惜她已變得風塵俗氣，馬小剛深感內疚，嘗試補償當天的罪惡，但最後又似乎沒這種必要了……「曾經被強暴的愛情還有沒有發展的前景？」著名浪人歌手楊一唱出淡淡的哀愁，北京廣播學院老師王寶民首次自編自導已技驚四座。

A wanderer-singer Yang Yi walks up into the scene and introduces the film with his guitar. Several years ago, Ma Xiaogang raped a girl, A Mei, at a great sunflowers field and was put in jail. When he was free and came back to the town, he became a taciturn man. No one knew his secret. He started to make a living by selling roasted sunflower-seeds. Time went slowly and leisurely.
But every time when he passed by that field, the blooming sunflowers reminded him of the past, the days full of desire and love to that girl, A Mei. He began to imagine her life of today. With strong curiosity, he sent some letters to her old address. One day, a strange woman called in on his shop. She was A Mei. She has changed a lot. Finally he decided to love her, with deep regrets. But it made him blame himself much more…
Beautifully shot in Inner Mongolia, the directorial debut of Wang Bao Min is a subtle, poetic yet striking piece of work.
