Wen Shan is a mediocre screenwriter struggling to make a living in Beijing. Commercial projects are left undone, and his own stories fall by the wayside. He lives a stagnant life in a fast growing city. By chance, he begins to write eulogies for a living.

As he restores the lives of others, he finds his own place in the city and finally realizes that ordinary people can take the center stage too.
