Su Wu is one of the top students at a leading arts high school in China, just one step away from her dream of becoming an idol. But a school audition she was certain to win goes awry because of one low score, and she barely makes it through at the very bottom.
The clear road to her dream suddenly grows overcast.
Lost and adrift, she takes refuge in a cinema, where she unexpectedly meets Shen Tang. In the darkness, the trail of tears on the girl’s face is so pure it takes Su Wu by surprise and pierces her heart.
That summer, Shen Tang’s warm smile is Su Wu’s only comfort, and the distance between them quietly closes amid sweat and shifting light.
