Quick Synopsis
Liu Shisan, a young man feeling lost in the busy city, is taken back to his quiet hometown nestled among the clouds by his grandmother. There, with the support of his grandmother and his childhood friend Cheng Shuang, he spends peaceful days reconnecting with his roots. As he explores the town, following the paths of his ancestors and paying attention to the town's subtle rhythms, he gradually overcomes his earlier confusion. Key moments happen at a small kiosk where he can almost touch the clouds, in the space between the nearby mountains and sea, and beneath the osmanthus tree in his grandmother's courtyard. Through this journey, Liu Shisan learns that while some people fade from memory over time, others remain close to us, regardless of life or death.
