Synopsis
Zhili, 150 km from Shanghai. In this city dedicated to textile manufacturing, young people flock from all the rural regions crossed by the Yangtze River. They are 20 years old, sharing dormitories and eating in the corridors. They work tirelessly so that one day they can raise a child, buy a house or set up their own workshop. Friendships and love affairs are forged and unravelled as the seasons change, bankruptcies occur and family pressures mount.
