"Enthralling!"
- The New York Times

Best Films of the Year! *
“Looks back at chaotic childhood with grace, acuity
and a born artist’s confidence. Movie love was never
so engulfing, and rarely so sweet, as in this petite,
elevating heartwarmer.” –Time Magazine
From one of China's newest cinematic voices comes a charming
tale set into motion by a disastrous encounter between
delivery boy Dabing and the estranged Ling Ling. Dabing
ends up with a bump on his head, but Ling Ling's the one
who winds up in the hospital, receiving overdue treatment
for a life that has left her beyond confused. At her request,
Dabing visits her home to keep her fish, but instead takes
refuge in her diary where stories of a little girl’s
passion for the movies reignites his own longing for the
days when the cinema was the only real mass medium and
when audiences breathed and dreamed as one.
