Synopsis

Liu Hui, a widow whose son has emigrated to the United States, clings to the apartment she once shared with her late husband, a calligrapher, surrounded by the tangible traces of their life together. Gradually she steps into neighborhood activities and forms a tentative friendship with the building’s gentle, shy caretaker, who is conflicted about what to do with a stray cat he has taken under his care. Through quiet, everyday encounters, their fragile bond begins to ease the weight of loneliness and open a path toward companionship.
