About An Abundance of Dunes
In a besieged town, con artist Jia Yizheng poses as a government envoy to swindle Hu Dingbang, a local defense force commander. On the run, Jia is mistaken by Mayor Xie Qianli—a secret collaborator with Japanese forces—for the real envoy. Exploiting each other, they engage in a cutthroat power play, creating chaotic farce. Amidst absurd conflicts, Jia eventually abandons deceit to join the anti-Japanese resistance.
Directed by Yi Liqi, An Abundance of Dunes leans on a strong ensemble — Xiao Shenyang, Zhou Dayong, Lexuan Lin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2025.
