Liu Jing is a well-known embalmer in the industry, and her hands can restore peace to the broken remains. But when her daughter Sissi passed away from leukemia, she went out to work to earn money for treatment and missed the last three minutes of saying goodbye. From then on, she fell into deep guilt and self-destruction. She could no longer face the remains of her children, nor could she see her husband Gao Peng, who was also in pain.
When she was about to take sleeping pills to "find Sissi", her old acquaintance Wang Qiang called: His six-year-old daughter Wang Xiaofang was also at the end of her life due to leukemia. Her only wish was to go to an ice and snow castle and say goodbye to the world like a princess in a fairy tale. This wish stung Liu Jing, because it was also the regret that Sissi could not realize during her lifetime.
Liu Jing decided to help Xiaofang complete a special "princess funeral". However, the funeral home refused to make an exception, the amusement group was worried about the risks, Wang's elders felt it was embarrassing, and online public opinion even called her a perverted undertaker who "hyped up the dead." Just when she could hardly hold on any longer, Gao Peng secretly repaired the snowmaking machine and started a live broadcast to tell Sissi's story, fulfilling a late promise for his wife and daughter.
On a night when snowflakes fell, Liu Jing walked into the ice and snow castle with Xiaofang in her arms, and finally learned to say goodbye to Sissi. After the funeral, she picked up the makeup pen again, her hands no longer shaking. She understands that what an embalmer repairs is not only the remains of the deceased, but also the broken hearts of the living.
Purpose: Using "children's dying funeral" as an incision to explore death, family affection and trauma repair. What it wants to express is: Farewell is not to make people forget the deceased, but to give the living people the courage to move on. What the undertaker repairs is not only the remains, but also the broken hearts of the living.
