He Dashang ( Wu Gang) is a middle-aged childless innkeeper trapped in an unhappy marriage in a sleepy city in Yunnan, China. The Case follows an innkeeper, played by Wu Gang, who one day comes across a black suitcase floating in the river, only to discover that it contains a body, finely dismembered and frozen.

The film was produced by Filmblog Media with the support of the Yunnan provincial government. It was followed by The Park, also in 2007. It is the first film of the Yunnan New Film Project, a planned anthology of ten films directed by female Chinese directors, all taking place in the southern province of Yunnan. The Case is a 2007 Chinese film directed by the female first-time director, Wang Fen.
