Meili is an ill-fated girl: she grew up without her parents, her sister and brother-in-law are harassing her for money, her dear girlfriend – with whom they were planning to escape to Shanghai – abandons her, while the promises that appear in the horizon are deceitful. Delivering a staggering portrait of a human in desperate need for love, a first-time director manages to capture a great universal truth, despite his young age: The greatest human tragedy is no other than hope.
