The film explores emotion through subtle storytelling, spanning two generations across a seemingly ordinary period. A young girl, uncertain about her future, is sent to England for her education and becomes deeply involved in an online romance she can't escape, despite its pain. Meanwhile, a middle-aged father, troubled by thoughts of death, left his hometown for Beijing as a young man. He feels powerless regarding the current state of the state-owned film studio and, battling a terminal illness, loses all hope.
