Modern flight instructor Su Wan time-travels to the eighties, just having her engagement broken off by her fiancé and enduring gossip in the village. She does not sink into despair, setting up a tractor crash course on the loess slopes, teaming up with the crippled mechanic Zhao Tiezhu, leading a group of rural women trainees, starting from learning to farm machinery, step by step building runways and developing homemade airplanes. The former abandoned child makes a comeback against the wind, building her very own private flight academy on the barren land.
