At her 70th birthday celebration, the aged mother of the Gu family suffers from a stroke, which precipitates her decline into dementia. Who will take care of her? The four brothers face crucial changes in their relationships to one another, as they deal with their own family problems. Their destinies, linked by love and challenged by questions and dilemmas, unfold over the course of the four seasons, as it would in an ancient Chinese scroll painting.

VIBE

A quiet, contemplative drama that unfolds like a traditional scroll painting. It's a somber yet beautiful exploration of family ties, duty, and the inevitable passage of time, best savored in quiet reflection.
