Shi Tou is an orphan living in the rural expanse of Shanxi, China. When he was a child, he sat on the banks of the Yellow River, watching the currents flow, like into the arms of his waiting mother, dreaming of a limitless future. He clutches onto this vast and lonely hope until one day he meets a woman with the same loneliness in her eyes as he. He finds the maternal warmth and love in her that he has always been looking for. Slowly but surely, he begins to rely on her, wants to protect her, and sees her in his dreams.
