Real estate agent Mei Zhu (Liu Weiwei) and her graphic designer husband Lao Xie (Cheng Taishen) live with five-year-old Hehe, Mei Zhu’s daughter from her first marriage. When they learn that Hehe has leukemia, they call in her natural father Xiao Lu (Zhang Jiayi). All are on civil terms but when tests show that neither of the blood parents is suitable for a bone marrow transplant, without which Hehe will have only two or three more years to live, another way must be found.

Mei Zhu becomes convinced that the only way to save her daughter is for her and Xiao Lu to have another child, whose bone marrow would be compatible. Trouble is, Xiao Lu has also remarried.

This is a stimulating and thought-provoking story of parenthood, love, married life, betrayal, trust and giving. It strips back changes in contemporary society and family life to expose the moral and ethical dilemmas brought on by modernity.
