Xian (ZHOU Meijun) will always remember the loneliest and bluest of summer when she was 15. After her mother (LIANG Jing) leaves to work abroad, Xian is thrown into the care of her father (LIANG Long), a free-spirited, struggling photographer. He is entangled with his assistant, who has an 18-year-old daughter, Mingmei (HUANG Ziqi). Mingmei soon appears like a ray of shining light to Xian. During this restless summer, the conflict between the innocence and the impulses of youth will leave an indelible mark on Xian.
