China is known as an economic super power; but how much is known about its millions of migrant workers, whose low pay, and relentless hard labor are the major contributors to the country’s fast growing economy? How much is known about the millions of left-behind children of the migrant workers, many of whom have dropped out of school, become rebellious, and psychologically traumatized because of the long separation with their parents? How much is known about a disintegrating society behind all the glory that is modern China?

This film features a family in the rural area of south China, in which the sons have all migrated to Canton Province, facing harsh working conditions, discrimination, injustice and family crisis.
