在这部风花雪月纪录片片中,四川西北部的一个小村庄里，雪灾和地震相继袭击的2008年，90岁的爷爷阳廷兴迎来了他的两个里孙子，又亲手埋葬了他罹患癌症的儿子。这是一个延续了十一代的风水家族，《风花雪月》是他们礼拜佛祖时的香赞。短短几个月时间里，这一家人承受着佛祖所谓的八苦：生、老、病、死、爱别离、怨憎会、求不得，五阴炽盛。
In a small village in the northwest of Sichuan, ninety-year-old Yang is the ninth male successor in a family of fengshui geomancers. The local geomancers main function is to preside over village funerals. The film follows the Yang family as they must deal with several deaths: the tragedy of a father who must bury his son, the disputes between siblings over funeral expenses, a pair of lovers who died one after another. Meanwhile, Mr. Yang celebrates the birth of his two great-grandchildren while he is forced to bury his own son who succumbed to cancer.
生命的安，息。
