China is ageing. Its shrinking households, overworked and
overstretched, struggle to carry the burden of care for their
elderly. Retired Beijing judge Uncle Xiao is one among millions of
old-timers who face a hopeless choice: accept a lonely decline, or
chase dubious 'miracle cures'. Then into his life steps Miss Zhong,
a young rural nurse with her own share of problems. The two have
little in common, but as time delivers tragedies they learn that
family can take many forms. Will this unlikely pair weather life's
storms together, and will Xiao find warmth in his sunset years?
