Synopsis
Living in a traditional “four-sided courtyard” house, where historically multiple generations would live together in one complex, Wei Daxue slowly finds her few friends in the world slipping away — an artist living in the guesthouse leaves, a neighbor dies, and her dog runs away. Her daughter is physically distant, and a cross-generational tension between tradition and the expediencies of modern life keep their conversations short.
