The deficit bill on a rainy night opened up the mystery of art funds from twenty years ago.
Gu Ran was guarding the gallery left behind by her father, struggling in the mess of the renovation project, but was being pressed step by step by Shen Tingyan, the heir to the Shen Group. He is a businessman who comes to buy art, but he always brings up her vague childhood in the middle of the night - the string of Buddhist beads left by her father was actually a gift from the old man of the Shen family; the cat painting she gave to a strange boy turned out to be the recipient.
The overseas account in the USB flash drive contains the residual image of the word "Shen", the eldest daughter of the Su family is pressing closer, the old case handed over by Lu Mingxuan... All the clues are entangled into a web, dragging Gu Ran into the grievances of her father's generation. She thought Shen Tingyan was a predator, but in the hidden arrow he blocked for her, she saw the boy who smiled secretly in her childhood memories.
When the acquisition case turned into a game of truth, and when the temperature of the prayer beads mixed with the rain poured into the palm of his hand, Gu Ran realized: some foreshadowing was buried under the ginkgo tree twenty years ago, and some love was hidden behind the mask of "cooperation". And the disappearing fund was never a conspiracy. It was the forbearance of two generations that protected the most authentic light of art.
What flows on the light and shadow wall of the gallery is not only Monet's water lilies, but also the rest of their lives that were slowly woven together in their brokenness and reunion.
