The filmmaker accompanies her father, an artist, on a search for his childhood home in southwestern China. He wants to fulfill his ageing mother’s wish to see the streets and people of her hometown again through him. But changed by the tides of history, the streets are barely recognizable and continue to change. Father and daughter wander through the city and reflect on what it means to see and create images. Which (hi)stories are preserved in the rapidly changing cityscape, and which are erased?
