China in the early 2000s. Qiao Qiao and Bin are having a passionate but fragile love affair. When Bin disappears to try his luck in another province, Qiao Qiao decides to go looking for him. By following the love life of his all-time heroine, Jia Zhang-ke provides us with an original film epic which spans all his films and more than 20 years of the history of a country in the midst of profound change.

"In my editing room, I've often watched the footage I have shot over time. As I felt the moments that they had captured fade, they became distant. Happy times from the past became almost dreamlike... It was only in 2022, during the Covid lockdown, that I felt the stories taking shape within the framework of those two decades of pictures." Jia Zhang-ke
