Yi Yi, a white-collar worker in a lattice room, and Ah Juan, a female worker in a garment factory, are separated by a wall in a Dongguan factory. They do not know each other, and seem to have no relationship with each other's fate, but because of the appearance of a "peacock", seems to have intersected. The two girls' souls meet and make their own answers to life on their own way to chase their ideals. 　　The story is adapted from the song "Peacock" by the band Frog Pond, paying tribute to every woman who also carries ideals in the midst of the ordinary.
