After working in a big city for several years, 29-year-old journalist Sheng Nan is struck by the fact that she has contracted gynecologic cancer. Branded as a �leftover lady� for being still single, Sheng Nan is stressed at all ends: her life on the line, her financial burden, and the innate fear that she would lose all sexual pleasure even if the cancer is cured. To raise money for her surgery, she accepts her colleague�s arrangement to write a biography for an old painter who lives in seclusion in the misty mountains. Sheng Nan is accompanied by her mother Liang Meizhi. The journey brings her closer to her mother, but above all, to herself.
