The film conveys the theme of "love" through the life story of a blind-deaf couple. Facing all kinds of dilemmas, the couple maintain each other between light and darkness.
The background of this documentary is the Sign Language Corner of the West Lake Three Parks, which is the most “central” and “marginal” corner of Hangzhou. Every Friday morning, deaf people from all over Zhejiang Province gather here.
As the oldest form of communication, sign language may be the common language used by humans before the collapse of the Babel Tower. With the rapid development of Hangzhou, someone is doomed to be left behind.
