Three young residents of Chengdu in Sichuan struggle to earn a living, including as a lounge singer, as well as illegal street food vendoring. Because their old apartment is scheduled to be demolished, they rent rooms from a Peking Opera master singer, who is grieving over the loss of her son (implied to have been killed in an automobile accident, related to the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake). The film explores their relationship with each other as well as with the landlady, who is coming to terms with her loss.
