Two young adults in Shanghai, living separate lives, do what they can to break out of their postmodern loneliness. Bin, from the town of Dali, runs a tourist shop with his mother. He goes to Shanghai to escape his monotonous life and to see the broader world. Meanwhile, Qin, a local, has a relatively rich family. She does nothing all day long, and usually feels depressed for no reason. She's also on the way to finding meaning in existence. Their two worlds overlap in the least consequential yet seemingly most substantial of ways.
