Beibei is an ordinary woman — "standard, smooth, flawless" — married with a child. As the family's primary breadwinner, she is laid off during the pandemic and decides to return to her hometown in southern China to find new opportunities. There, she settles her family, untangles her various relationships, and, through courage and endurance, keeps pushing forward while struggling to preserve her own desires.
Shot in a mockumentary style, the film portrays a woman trapped between reality and relationships, burdened by life's pressures and inner loneliness, yet determined to expand her horizons. Beyond her roles as wife, mother, and daughter, it explores her journey of self-discovery, emotion, and desire.
