    • A film crew arrives in remote town Yong’an.

      The fresh air they bring in spreads ripples in the heart of Gu, the owner of a local restaurant. She dreams of another life.

      Movie star Chen is back in her hometown; she expects to revisit her childhood friends and good old days.

      An endless debate persists between the director and the writer, revolving from cinema to life. Shooting must start, although consensus is never reached.
