The beautiful and poetic story of Liang Yi, who was born in the 1950s, and who has gone through the Cultural Revolution, state-run restructuring, reform, and caught up with the national policy of family planning. She has lived a normal, ordinary life.
There is one thing she never gave up…acting. Except, no one gave her a chance, so she made her own script. She sells her house and invests in herself, only to find the bamboo basket was empty, and there was not a penny left after being deceived by the seasoned liar.
However, she realizes a way to get her money back and devises a plan.
