It all begins with an affair staged at a traditional Chinese funeral offerings store with the leading actress being the boss’s wife. Witnessed by an unidentified pair of eyes, the affair is followed by the sudden death of the boss caused by a bowl of soybean pudding. He is desperate to know the truth about the affair in his afterlife. Eventually he is brought back to the piece of memory that entangles among two boys and a girl, on fighting for their pride through a slingshot battle against the boss of students.

On winter solstice day, a tram arrives at the terminus, depositing the last passenger in an old neighbourhood. Roaming eerily empty streets among surroundings at once familiar and strange, the old woman has her mind firmly set on one task, prompting her panic-stricken son to abandon his work and speed to her side. Somewhere, sometime else, a young woman is frantically searching for her little boy. In a city that prides itself on overnight transformations and clearing out the old to make way for the new, the mother takes her son on a reverie where the past and the present, memories and realisations are immutably and inexorably mixed.
