Devils on the Doorstep (2000) unfolds during the tumultuous period of the Japanese occupation of China, where two captives are unexpectedly deposited in the residence of a humble farmer in a secluded village. The farmer is coerced into housing the prisoners until the upcoming New Year, when they are scheduled to be retrieved. The village elders gather to question the captives, leading to a complex dynamic as the townsfolk grapple with the challenge of accommodating these strangers. One prisoner is a defiant Japanese nationalist, while the other is a timid translator. The narrative explores the villagers' efforts to maintain order and harmony amidst the tension and uncertainty, raising the question of whether they can successfully keep the prisoners until the designated time.
