Synopsis
Guo Jianbo (Hao Lei), her mother and her daughter live in the same flat. Jianbo is a journalist specializing in social news. Much of the reporting she does on social issues causes her great pain and agony. Her retired mother (Elain Jin Yan-ling) helps out in the local community. She is warm and friendly to all the residents and people in that community and regularly organizes singing competitions. But there exists an invisible glass wall between Guo Jianbo and her mother. Jianbo's daughter grows up and develops her character in the cracks of that invisible screen. The family ties that bind the three together and the nature of the times in which they each grew up have seeped into their veins like a deadly poison. Three generations. Three different contexts. Each of them has their own way of escaping from the reality around them, only to inevitably clash from time to time. After a particularly serious confrontation, Jianbo's mother is admitted to hospital and peace returns to their lives. Amongst all the anxiety and hurt brought about by Jianbo's father, their experiences of the past and worries for the future, there is a glimpse of reconciliation and a glimmer of hope.
