As the group comes to terms with the loss of a friend, Younger Brother's sense of displacement comes to a head when he hears that his son is back in China for his fifth birthday.
As he struggles to re-adapt tho life back in China, Younger Brother, develops a relationship with Little Girl (Yan Shu), a performer in a travelling Shanghai opera troupe, and, despite the disapproval of the mother's family, attempts to reconnect with his son.
