Synopsis
Xiamo returns to China from a visit to the United States with a much younger bride, Jenny. This relationship is frowned on by his father and by his ex-wife Lianfang, whom he abandonned but who still lives with the family. Lianfang remembers her harsh years of marriage, with many desertions including one when she was obliged to go for an involuntary abortion. When her life begins to change for the better, Xiamo finds himself thinking about her again.
