SYNOPSIS

In Chinese, ‘golden-age’ and ‘mirage’ share the same sound. Amid the economic decoupling, a single mother struggling to keep accessories business afloat in Yiwu, China’s largest export hub, must come to terms with memories of her late father's orchid on the Winter Solstice and reclaim her opera job to fund her son's overseas study. This is my mother’s story, one day of her life. She loves orchids, and she misses her father.
