If you have ever asked yourself "What if I had chosen a different life, how would my life have changed?" you will enjoy this film. Wealthy big-city executive Da Ming (Quanxin Pu) returns to his boyhood home, where his aging father (Zhu Xu) and mentally disabled brother (Jiang Wu) run an old-fashioned communal bathhouse that's threatened by modern progress. At first, Da longs to return to his job. But soon, the leisurely pace and abundant camaraderie of the bathhouse, cause him to think. Where are Da's loyalties? Can he leave his successful career and high-style life to return to his roots? What does his wife think about this? Does success always equal happiness? A tender story with lots of comedy about the choices we make and their consequences.
