To escape from the suffocating daily routine, Lu, a young filmmaker, makes her getaway to the countryside where she meets an eccentric man who calls himself by the name of a famous Tang dynasty poet, Du Fu.
While Lu finds that Du Fu could make a perfect documentary protagonist, Du Fu seems becoming more and more like a fictional character Lu wrote in her script, a poet who decides to commit suicide.
