Yong Le salvages furniture to re-sell. He lives in a room in Beijing`s Underground City, a labyrinthian former bomb shelter that serves as cheap housing. But after a work accident leaves him temporarily blind, he has to use a rope to find his way around until, one night, he meets a girl at the other end of his rope. Xiao Yun is desperately trying to leave her job pole dancing at nights. At ground level, old Lao Jin has been struggling for years to get a decent compensation deal from the authorities who want to demolish his house. His health is declining and his savings are evaporating. And he`s counting on Yong Le to sell his furniture at a good price.
