Lin Mo is an editor in the city used to cutting lies, until he receives a call from his uncle at 3 AM: his mother, Su Guilan, has terminal pancreatic cancer with at most fourteen days left. He rushes back to his hometown overnight, only to see his mother squatting in the courtyard, using fifty-cent super glue to mend a leaking red plastic basin and scolding him for coming back. To stay, he lies that his company sent him to shoot a rural vlog; not wanting to be a burden, his mother lies that it is just chronic gastritis. The fourteen-day countdown begins.
