Two immigrant Hong Kong women – one from mainland China, one from Indonesia – live together in a little village. Together, they undertake an epic journey to the big city.
 
Brothers return to their working-class neighborhood for one last hangout in their mother’s toy store. With new responsibilities looming, they take refuge in childhood memories.
