Eagles Rest in Liangshan

In Sichuan's Liangshan mountains, Yi children grow up between tradition and change. When a father returns from prison seeking redemption, he finds that his daughter dreams of basketball but is torn over her schooling, and his son longs to earn money. As summer ends and walnuts ripen, their separate journeys begin.

At the basketball camp, 15-year-old Fang talks about her dreams. But life never stops, it moves too fast. Her phone fell into water. There are too many stairs to climb. The adults seem to decide her future. And the rocket keeps being launched every month.
