    • Fifteen year-old Liu Xian experiences the most lonely summer when her mother travels to Africa and sends her to live with her father, who has been divorced for many years. Xian feels like an abandoned child until her father’s stepdaughter, Mingmei, shows up in her life, shining like a beam of light. The liberated and swaggering vitality of Mingmei attracts Xian and brings new colors to her life. The restless summer days and the youthful impulses leave a deep unforgettable mark on Xian’s life.
