No male lead, no female lead, no underdog comeback fantasy, no melodramatic feuds.
In the old neighborhood of Chunxi Lane stands a six-story apartment building, home to twelve ordinary households.
A recent graduate who cries over being unemployed, a night-shift driver who's gruff but softhearted, a retired teacher living alone and longing for her family to visit, a couple at a convenience store keeping the lights on through the night, a stay-at-home mother trapped in her family and secretly trying to save herself...
Everyone carries unspoken pain, and every home holds a little warmth.
The seasons turn, and life goes on with meals and everyday chores.
This isn't one person's solo performance. It's the vivid, down-to-earth life of every one of us ordinary people.
