In a tribute to her mother, Bai Yang—who starred in the 1937 Chinese classic Crossroads—director Jiang Xiaozhen tells a story of missed connections and inevitable destiny. Zhao Ming and Yang Shao, having grown up in different parts of China, cross paths for the first time when Shao returns to Shanghai for her mother’s funeral after living in New York. Suffering from culture shock and the frustrations of handling her mother’s estate, she extends her stay and meets Ming, her mother’s handyman. He jumps at the opportunity to ingratiate himself with Shao so that he can turn the bequeathed house into a nightclub. Though both are committed in other relationships, it is not long before the two realize their star-crossed love.
