This is the story of a relationship between little Chenchen and his grandfather, who is the only family member he knows. His mother has been working overseas for so long that he does not even remember her. Grandpa is getting on in years, and finds it harder every day to climb those stairs on his rounds as a Beijing postal worker. But things are about to get really complicated with the return of his mother after so many years apart.
This is very simple cinema, almost about nothing, but of a very high sensibility. The female director really gives life to their characters. She really cares about younger audiences, but also permits to open doors of imagination for all audiences. The movie is similar to the purity of the masterpieces of the biggest authors.
