At the age of seventy, May, who had experienced two failed marriages, feels a sense of unwillingness. She traverses Shanghai every day, searching for love and a potential partner who could accompany her in the remaining years.
She busies herself during the day, navigating the extensive transportation network of the city, and returns to her rented house in the outskirts at night. The gatherings and rendez vous of the elderly provide opportunities for May to meet with diverse personalities and interesting stories.
May leads us into an unfamiliar urban space, a world of elderly people full of unique charm.
