Teenager Xiao Jing lives in a fishing village in Hunan Province, isolated by both geography and her hearing impairment. Her only real emotional connection is with her uncle, an artist that she occasionally poses for. That slightly awkward hobby gives rise to a minor scandal involving the uncle, which results in Jing being sent off to the city to live with her resentful father, police officer Haoyang.

Rounding out the makeshift family is Haoyang’s pregnant girlfriend Xiao Mei, an aspiring rock star. The two girls will have to accept each other and learn how to communicate in order to rediscover themselves.
