| Summary: | Ma lost his sight in a childhood accident and now relies on his hearing. His co-workers in a Nanjing massage centre share his fate.

Lou Ye, who worked with a mixed cast of blind and sighted actors, follows his protagonists through their lives for a while, exploring their desires and dreams, but also sketching the reality of life in modern day China. -- |
