The year is 1991, and China's socioeconomic transformation is profoundly affecting the lives of families across the nation. Rural farmers are facing challenges and technological advancements that are radically transforming their way of life. In response, ten-year-old Chuang's parents have chosen to leave for the city in search of work, leaving their third child behind to be raised by family and neighbors in their rural community. Spanning four generations, an intimate yet sweeping saga unfolds, navigating the cycles of life through the changing of the seasons. As births and deaths, weddings and funerals come and go, we witness the resilience and resourcefulness of ordinary people grappling with the burden of family responsibility in a modernized world that increasingly clashes with the beliefs, traditions, and codes of honor and duty they have lived by for thousands of years.
