In a world where technology and tradition collide, a group of young artisans in the city of Hangzhou faces an unexpected dilemma. With the arrival of an innovative app that promises to do the artisans' work in seconds, the local craft industry begins to teeter. Among them is Mei, a talented artist who feels trapped between her passion for her craft and the pressure to adapt to modernity. Alongside her childhood friend, Jun, she decides to embark on a mission to prove that handmade art still has its place in the world.
As Mei and Jun work to restore the ancient technique of silk ties, they find themselves caught in a generational conflict with their parents, who see technology as a gateway to the future. However, everything changes when they discover that the app threatening their art is actually a secret project developed by a large corporation, determined to erase any remnants of tradition that stand in its way.
As they fight to preserve their heritage, Mei and Jun capture the attention of other young entrepreneurs who also seek a balance between the old and the new. Through an exhilarating journey filled with friendship, love, and a deep respect for culture, the story culminates in a final exhibition that not only challenges the corporation but also unites their community in a cry of resistance. With beautiful cinematography that highlights tradition and modernity, the film is a tribute to culture, art, and the power of community.
