In China，a young couple and their baby leave the city to pay a visit to their sick grandfather in the countryside. The suffocating space of a car, transformed by the husband —who is also the director of this feature— into a film set. Their relationship shatters into a thousand pieces. Love and filmmaking are interwoven here to provide us the account of a moving "echo".
