A gripping psychological tale, enlivened by wickedly sharp insights into contemporary small-town life. Yun Yun lives in a small West China town with her widowed father, and an uncle, aunt and older cousin who live nearby. Then, her once-secure world falls apart. Through her eyes, we observe her cousin, Zhang Qing keen to dive into the excitements of adolescence but clashes with repressive parents. Ensuing tensions reveal that the relationships between the two families are founded on a terrible lie.
