Storyline
The main protagonist of the film is the Chinese girl Jin Ying, who leaves to study in Prague – the city where her grandmother Chen Lanxin once lived. While searching for signs of her grandmother’s Prague life, and especially her long-lost love, she befriends a young Chinese man, who has been living here for several years and who starts helping her uncover the past. Jin Ying is primarily looking for the long-lost love of her grandmother, Chen Lanxin. The current narration is accompanied by flashbacks to the more than 50-year-old tale. Jin Ying ultimately manages to find her grandmother’s old Czech boyfriend and meets him in one of the places where he used to meet with Chen Lanxin.
