A warm evening in a traditional quarter of Beijing. A young woman is on her way to meet a stranger. As she wanders through the streets, the camera scans every detail as if seen through her eyes. Over the telephone, he pretends to be almost there. Eventually, night falls. She is still alone when her phone rings again. This time, his voice drifts into melancholic memories of the surrounding neighborhood. His images of the past contrast the pictures of the present. He is far away.
