A town in Ningxia province, northern China, the present day. Ge is a retired bus driver in his mid-70s whose son by his first marriage doesn't talk to him, and whose second wife, who died six months ago, willed their flat to her own son. Forced to move out, Ge goes to stay with his old friend Zhou, also a retired bus driver, who shares a room with the crazy Jin at Guanshan Old People's Home. Depressed at how his life has ended up, Ge contemplates suicide, but is given hope by the other inmates of the home. Zhou has recruited some of them into performing a comic sketch he hopes to enter into a Japanese TV competition whose China heat is to be held in Tianjin. During rehearsal, one of the group is injured, and the home's head forbids them to go to Tianjin. But Zhou is not dissuaded so easily, and he and Ge, along with four others, hatch a secret plan to "escape". (official distributor synopsis)
