In 1930s Shanghai, Manjing, a young woman from a once wealthy family, works in a factory, where she meets Shujun, the son of wealthy Nanjing merchants. Despite Shujun's reservations about Manjing's family - his sister, Manlu works as a nightclub "hostess" - they gradually manage to fall in love. After a long period of separation, they reunite but realize that their happiness belongs to memories in a nostalgic reimagining of missed opportunities.
