SYNOPSIS

In the post-apocalyptic mid-21st Century,  the Gui Dao sect rules continental Asia…

Zhuai and his younger brother Mian are captured and sent to Camp Prosperity so that their dissident minds can be re-educated. They soon discover that camp life is more than just propaganda, bureaucratic annoyance and trafficking.

When the sect is suddenly overthrown, Zhuai and Mian chaotically experience total freedom for the first time in many years. When he falls for pretty Xuelan, Zhuai takes her and her small boy to a near-by deserted industrial city. They settle in an abandoned apartment and try to rediscover life’s small and quirky pleasures. Yet, they would have to face the bittersweet feeling to be free to dream.
